RNC Statement on Republicans’ Dominant June Jobs Report

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Whatley released the following statement on Republicans’ dominant June jobs report:

“Today’s state jobs report shows why Americans overwhelmingly trust President Trump more than Joe Biden and the Democrats to tackle inflation: Republican-led states are bringing back jobs and fighting back against the failed Biden-Harris economic agenda. After our historic convention in Milwaukee, Republicans are unified and ready to end the inflation that Joe Biden has unleashed on American families when we send President Trump back to the White House.”

Background:

• The latest state jobs report shows that 16 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and 16 of the states have Republican-controlled legislatures.
  • Four states have yet to fully recover jobs lost from the pandemic – two of which have Democrat governors and three of which have Democrat-controlled legislatures.
• Out of the top 15 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 10 are led by Republican governors
  • Of the 6 states with the highest unemployment rates, 5 are led by Democrat governors.
