This choropleth map visualizes 2024 US state unemployment rates using D3.js v7 and TopoJSON. It shows each state colored on a red-yellow-green sequential scale, where green indicates lower unemployment and red indicates higher rates, with hover interactions revealing exact percentages via a tooltip. The map uses `d3.geoAlbersUsa` projection and `d3.geoPath` to render state boundaries from the us-atlas TopoJSON dataset, while `d3.scaleSequential` with `d3.interpolateRdYlGn` drives the color encoding, and an SVG linear gradient legend communicates the scale.
