How many months until states could reach pre-pandemic levels of employment

Note: We calculated the six-month averages of state nonfarm employment growth (using July 2020 to January 2021 data) to estimate how long it will take a state to reach February 2020 levels at this pace. New Mexico's six-month average was negative, so an estimate could not be calculated.
