Did you know Hawaii and Nevada rely heavily on tourism to keep their economies going?  Huh.  Q2 2020 saw the beloved states losing 42.2% of their GDPs attributing 18.85% and 15.62% losses from, well, no tourism, respectively.

This chart that state shows GDP losses for the second quarter to the US.  Each state's contribution is called out to summarize a 2.1 trillion USD drop nationally for that period.
