America's Growing Gap in Digital Job Skills

Interesting article until one notices a couple points...theres the geographic metro dot plot but there's also this statement early on?

"(The study notes some limitations to these O*NET data, which are reported as aggregates, and not available on the micro level. This means that digitalization scores are assigned nationally, without regard to location, which could introduce potential inaccuracies at the local level.)"

Did I miss something, does the data have metro labeling or something?

And finally, that last graph I'm not sure is showing much correlation. R^2 of ~.26?

The graph says it also uses Occupational Employment Statistics data, which tracks the number of people in those industries.
