WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the May state jobs report:
“The contrast couldn’t be clearer. As families struggle to shoulder the burden of Bidenflation, Republican-led states are creating jobs and leading the economic recovery. Republicans are delivering while Biden and Democrats continue to push their reckless tax and spend agenda, leaving Americans to foot the bill."
Background:
- The latest state jobs report shows that eight of the top 10 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and all 10 states have Republican-controlled legislatures.
- Out of the top 16 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 13 are led by Republican governors.
- 16 states have hit new record low unemployment rates – 11 of which have Republican governors and 13 have Republican-controlled legislatures.
- Americans are voting with their feet, with Democrat-run states seeing a mass exodus as families and businesses are flocking to Republican-led states.
- The top 10 counties that saw the largest decreases in population in 2022 are all located in states led by Democrat governors, with these counties home to Democrat-run cities including Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia, and Detroit.
- According to a report from the National Association of Realtors, California, New York, and Illinois lost the most people in 2022.
