Making America great again. Good on ya Trump!
Fourteen states have set new records for low unemployment rates in the last year.
The states hitting new unemployment lows run the ideological gamut, from conservative Texas to liberal California, suggesting a recovery stronger than any particular political persuasion.
In March, eight states saw new record lows, including Hawaii (2.1 percent), Idaho (2.9 percent), Kentucky (4 percent ), Maine (2.7 percent), Mississippi (4.5 percent), Oregon (4.1 percent) and Wisconsin (2.9 percent).
Colorado’s unemployment rate is just 2.6 percent, among the lowest in the nation, and a third of the 8.9 percent peak it hit in 2010.
In Alabama, just 3.7 percent of workers are unemployed. Arkansas reached a 3.6 percent unemployment rate last May, its lowest rate ever.
North Dakota set its own record last year. Texas hit a 3.9 percent unemployment rate in November, after peaking at 8.3 percent during the height of the recession. Tennessee fell to the lowest unemployment rate it has ever measured, 3.3 percent, in January.
Such a tight job market means businesses are competing for workers, rather than workers competing for scarce jobs...
14 states hit record-low unemployment

Damn that Trump...... actually doing what he said he would do..... a politician is only supposed to promise to do things, not actually do them......
Lol, NO Trump's job growth so far has been million+ jobs short of of his "25 million jobs!" promises. Promise works out to 3.125 million a year and there were only 2 million jobs created in 2017 (the worst growth in 6 years)
Ah shucks, did Trump lie? Enjoy this turnip:
Average Unemployment Rate By Year
- 2009: 9.3 percent.
- 2010: 9.6 percent. Republicans took control of the house
- 2011: 8.9 percent.
- 2012: 8.1 percent.
- 2013: 7.4 percent.
Say, what polices you figure Obama sported to improve the economy? How about bailouts? I guess he'd be following Bush's lead then. How about LOW INTEREST RATES and GAS PRICES? Way to go Obama.
Sure wasn't Obamacare, that produced the opposite.
