The COVID-19 pandemic and recession have profoundly affected the lives of North Carolinians. Our economic future and daily life suddenly changed in March 2020, marking the start of a period of deep uncertainty.
The Carolina Tracker project is a website offering day-to-day information on how North Carolinians’ lives have changed since the onset of the pandemic. Produced by faculty, staff and students in the department of city and regional planning in UNC-Chapel Hill’s College of Arts & Sciences, the Carolina Tracker presents easy-to-use, publicly-available data for policymakers and North Carolinians to use.
Datasets available at the Carolina Tracker site include:
Layoffs, labor force participation, and unemployment insurance
