THE PAYCHECK PROTECTION PROGRAM: PER CAPITA, STATE-BY-STATE

KEY POINTS:

  • The Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) offers loans for businesses so that they can avoid layoffs, protecting worker paychecks.
  • The map shows the total amount of PPP lending approved for businesses in each state, per capita.
  • These values, in effect, represent the average amount of PPP credit approved per person in the state.
  • The data are current through April 16, 2020. But they’re likely only to increase with time.
