New job numbers prove red-state policies are the way to go

New job numbers prove red-state policies are the way to go

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. 

Part of this is due New York and Cali having slammed down COVID restrictions on business that were as useless as they were deadly to the economy, leaving them deeper in the hole than more sensible states like Florida. 

And part, of course, stems from the profoundly anti-jobs policies preferred by Dems: high taxes, onerous regulations, a perverse green agenda.

Don’t underestimate the effect of terrible Dem policies on public safety and schooling, too. 

Those drive people to safer states — and when you lose people, you lose talent, knowledge and drive.

That further impedes the general recovery. 

Look, this isn’t rocket science. 

For a state’s economy to prosper, the government needs to get the heck out of the way and let business grow.

Do otherwise — via green insanity, DEI nonsense or crook-coddling “reforms” — and watch present and future growth wither on the vine.
