Linear regression coefficients showing that U.S. cities with greater employment diversity \(H^{(c)}\) saw lower peak unemployment during the Great Recession, after controlling for total employment \(T^{(c)}\) and the number of unique occupations in each city \(N^{(c)}\) (\(R^{2} = 0.915\)). All variables were centered and standardized prior to regression. Error bars represent 95% confidence intervals. Additional details on the regression analysis are provided in the Materials and methods
