Yeah, it wouldn't be one of the parks they'd close - it makes a bunch of money for them. Would expect some of the water parks and maybe Darien Lake or Michigan's Great Adventure to go first.

The nonfarm employment is because of the Boeing strike which brought manufacturing way down from August to November.

Once the strike was over it returned to normal. Here is the most recent version of that map from Joey Politano on Bluesky. Still under but it rounds to 0.0% and last month was slightly positive YOY.
