WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement on the March state jobs report:
“The numbers don’t lie: Americans are better off in Republican-led states. Hard working Americans are fleeing failed Democrat leadership in search of red state prosperity – and the GOP’s pro-growth policies are a fundamental reason why Americans across the country will vote for President Trump and Republicans up and down the ballot in November.”
Background:
- Republican-led states are the ones creating jobs and leading the economic recovery.
- The latest state jobs report shows that 12 of the top 15 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and 14 of the states have Republican-controlled legislatures.
- Seven states have yet to fully recover jobs lost from the pandemic – four of which have Democrat governors and five of which have Democrat-controlled legislatures.
- Out of the top 16 states with the lowest unemployment rate, 11 are led by Republican governors.
