1. Map of How Many Hours Americans Need to Work to Pay Their Mortgage地图一：美国人要工作多久来还贷

Just how long do you have to work each month to afford your mortgage payment? Are you within your state's median range?

你每月需要工作多长时间来还贷？你的工作时长是否在所在州的中等范围内？

2. Map of the Highest-Paid Job in Every State地图二: 各州最高薪的工作

Where are the journalists? We may be considering a career change after checking out these salary differences!

记者呢？（为什么没在列表中看到记者？）看完薪资差异地图后，我们考虑换工作了！

3. Map of Where Tourists Spend the Most Money地图三：游客在哪儿花钱最多

If you want to know where to travel that is off-the-beaten path, use this map to check out tourism expenditures. Forget Spain ($68 billion) or France ($61 billion) and head to Montenegro ($1 billion) or Cyprus ($3 billion) instead.

如果你想了解在哪儿旅行是不走寻常路的选择，可使用本地图查看游客旅游支出。要想别出心裁，就别去西班牙（2017年旅游年收入高达680亿美元）或法国（610亿美元）了，考虑去黑山（10亿美元）或塞浦路斯（30亿美元）看看吧。

4. Map of the Most Energy Used in the U.S.地图四: 美国能源消耗最多的城市

Who is sucking up the most energy? Big cities, obviously.

到底谁在消耗最多的能源？毫无疑问，是大城市。

5. Map of U.S. Gender Pay Gap地图五：美国收入性别差距

Yes, you're reading that right: In Utah and Louisiana, women make just about 70 percent of what men do. Yikes!

Even the states with the narrowest gap, New York and California, should be doing better, in our humble opinion.

是的，你没有看错: 哎呀！在犹他州和路易斯安那州，女性收入真的只占男性的70％。

依我们的拙见，即使是收入性别差距最小的纽约州和加利福尼亚州，其实也可以做得更好。

6. Map of U.S. Minimum Wage地图六：美国最低工资

It's nice to know some states kept their word to raise the minimum wage by 2019.

The city with the current highest minimum wage is Emeryville, California, just outside San Francisco, where the rate is $15.69/hour.

很高兴的发现，一些州信守承诺，在2019年前均提升了最低工资标准。

目前最低工资标准最高的城市是加利福尼亚州的埃默里维尔（在旧金山郊外），时薪是15.69美元。

7. Map of Water Consumption Around the US地图七：美国及世界各地用水量

You may be surprised to learn the volume of water needed for the production of essential goods and services. This map brings the problem of water scarcity into sharp focus.

你会惊讶地了解生产必需品和提供服务所需的水量到底是多少。这张全球用水量地图突显了水资源短缺问题。
