Percentage of all people? Percentage of adults? Percentage of able-bodied adults between the ages of 18-65 who aren't in school?

If it's the former, I suspect that this is strongly inversely correlated with age. Note that Florida has a low percentage; probably because they have a lot of retirees.

Welcome to Delaware, the land of low property taxes and home to many people over the age of 65 who are from higher tax, more northern states.

I love maps like this because I have this internal thesis that Florida and Utah are polar opposites. This reinforces this belief.
