These two geographic areas are shown at the exact same scale.
The circle at left (#Wyoming + major parts of several other states) has 582,000 workers. The circle at right (#NewHaven + a few of its suburbs) has 751,000 workers.
The area at left is represented by 14 US Senators, the area at right is represented by just 2.
The US might be more economically competitive if its Senate better reflected the nation's economy.
