The COVID-19 pandemic has hit the U.S. economy like a ton of bricks. Between business shutdown orders, supply chain disruptions, travel bans, social distancing orders, and, of course, the health impact of the coronavirus, entire industries across the country have been decimated. Profits have been wiped out, but worse yet, millions of workers have found themselves out of a job—either furloughed or permanently laid off. As a result, almost every state in the nation has seen unparalleled job-loss numbers, and local unemployment benefits agencies have struggled to process the waves of applications they’ve received over the last few months.
While every state is reeling from the massive losses of employment opportunities caused by the public health crisis, no two areas are having the exact same experience, especially now that state governments are starting to lift their lockdowns. Some states like New Hampshire have seen their unemployment rates start to level off from the sky-high numbers they were seeing a couple of months ago. Other states like California are still enduring new rounds of layoffs announced by major corporations, making the hope for a recovery feel even more distant. Then there’s Hawaii, a state that relies heavily on two industries that have been nearly wiped out by the pandemic: tourism and leisure. Experts from the University of Hawaii Economic Research Organization predict the state won’t see visitor numbers return to their 2019 levels for another five years. Without travelers to care for, Hawaiians in the tourism and leisure industries may face limited work opportunities for years to come.
In its ongoing effort to track COVID-19’s impact on workers, Stacker compiled data from theBureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) on how unemployment rates have changed. States are ranked by their highest rates of unemployment as of May 2020, with ties broken by the biggest change in the unemployment rate from February to May 2020. We also looked at news reports and other government data to zero in on the employment scene in every state.

For time immemorial, every kid in history has had a favorite toy—even if that toy was nothing more than a stick found on the ground. Some toys are meant for individuals, some are meant to be shared in groups. Some encourage competition, others stress socialization, creativity, collaboration, or imagination. Others are simply meant to pass the time on rainy days.
Toys have been a part of recorded history since history has been recorded—literally. There’s evidence of kids playing with toys dating back thousands of years to ancient Egypt and China. The digital age has spawned an entirely new era of entertainment and play for kids of all ages, but some of the greatest toys in history are products of the analog era.
For decades, toys were marketed by gender. Girls played with dolls, boys played with trucks. Over the generations, however, the lines have been blurred and children of all stripes hand their favorite toys off to each other, to siblings of any gender, and to playmates who share in the fun.
Some toys, like Tonka Trucks, have evolved dramatically over the years and kept up with the times. Others, like the rocking horse, remain basically the same as they’ve been for centuries. No matter their lineage, history, or source, the very best of them all are enshrined for the ages in the National Toy Hall of Fame, which is maintained by the National Museum of Play.
Stacker sorted every toy in the National Toy Hall of Fame by the year they were inducted based on 2019 data released in 2020. Some are name-brand toys with trademarks, others are generic. Others, like paper planes and cardboard boxes, aren’t toys at all until imaginative children turn them into one.
Here’s a nostalgic look at the greatest toys of all time, some of which have been lost to history, while others are still on store shelves today.
