State one question

Are the total number of artists in the U.S. higher in states that contain large cities?

Plot data

ggplot(data = data) + 
  geom_bar(mapping = aes(x = STATE, y= ARTISTS), stat = "identity") +
    coord_flip() +
  theme(
   axis.text.x = element_blank(),
   axis.ticks.x = element_blank()
   )

Interpret

According to the data presented, it appears that the relationship between states with large cities have more artists employed.
