WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the September state jobs report and Biden's dishonest economic remarks:
“Biden's flailing dishonesty is desperate and sad. Meanwhile, Republican-led states continue to keep Americans working, children in schools, and small businesses operating, while Biden and Democrats created a recession, historic inflation, and high gas prices. This election is about the economy, and Republican governors and legislatures have delivered. In nearly two weeks, voters will deliver a victory for commonsense and elect Republicans up and down the ballot.”
Background:
- Newly released data from the Labor Department confirms that Republican governors and legislatures are leading the way in getting America back to work.
- This is the last state jobs data the Labor Department will release before the midterm elections.
- Through September, nine 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.
- Republican-led states on average have recovered more than 109 percent of their lost jobs compared to just over 95 percent for Democrat-run states.
- Out of the 11 states that have hit new record low unemployment rates, seven have Republican governors and eight have Republican-controlled legislatures.
- Out of the top 21 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 17 are led by Republican governors and 17 have Republican-controlled legislatures.
