Here's the state by state data:

SNAP Current Participation - Persons

TX, CA, FL, NY at the top.

The participation in the SNAP program is likely a much better indicator of where the national economy stands rather than unemployment numbers or job creation numbers, since it tends to indicate how many are living at the level of assistance qualification. The take away is that the growth in jobs is likely at the bottom of the pay scales.
