What They're Saying: "When It Comes to Economic Success That's Happening, Let's Not Forget It's in the Red States"
Last week's Bureau of Labor Statistics state jobs report confirmed that Republican-led states are continuing to provide a bright spot in Biden's dismal economy. Given that 15 states with record-low unemployment numbers have Republican-led legislatures, it is no wonder why a majority of Americans hold a positive outlook of their state and local job market. By rejecting lockdowns, reducing taxes, and attracting businesses and families fleeing blue states, state Republicans are helping their economies outpace those of their liberal counterparts. The Republican-led states with record-low unemployment rates are:
Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
The historical significance of this economic data is making headlines across the country. Here is some of what they are saying:
