New job numbers prove red-state policies are the way to goBy NY Post Editorial Board
July 23, 2023
Sensible, pro-growth policies have won the day, yet again.
Per the latest state-level jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, eight of the top 10 states for jobs recovered since the pandemic began are led by Republican governors.
All 10 have GOP-controlled state legislatures.
How about unemployment numbers?
Red-state good news dominates there too.
Of the top 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates, eight are led by Republican governors.
And of 17 states that have hit record-new lows of unemployment, 12 have GOP govs.
For Florida, Idaho, Iowa, Missouri and other red states, the economic skies are sunny.
You know where things look decidedly grayer?
In blue strongholds like California, which faces an unemployment rate (4.6%) significantly higher than the national average, and trending up year over year.
Then there’s New York, with a state unemployment rate also higher than the national average — and a dire NYC-only figure of 5.4%, also trending up.
