Latest data: Want jobs? Vote Republican

Rapid Response

We have yet another month of evidence from the Labor Department proving REPUBLICAN POLICIES WORK.

The latest data for August shows 16 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic hit are led by Republican governors. The top 10 states for jobs recovered are all led by Republicans.

The facts don’t lie:

  • Out of the top 20 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 16 are led by Republican governors.
    • The 11 states with the lowest unemployment rates are all led by Republicans.
  • The average unemployment rate for the nation’s 27 states with Republican Governors is just 4.2 percent.
  • Democrat-led states have an average unemployment rate 1.5 percentage points higher – 5.7 percent.

Now, Biden and Democrats want to slam Americans with trillions more in reckless taxes and spending, a recipe for even higher prices and fewer jobs.

If Biden wants to stop standing in the way of America’s recovery, he should take his cue from Republican governors. Socialist schemes don’t work – Republican policies that empower workers and small businesses do.
