Red State Resurgence

[Independent thinker]

We ranked the 50 states by their hiring rates and were swiftly struck by a trend so clear that - if it holds up - should be front-page news: Republican-leaning states are hiring faster than blue states.

Of the 17 fastest-hiring states, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 14 voted for Trump in 2020. The top two Biden-voting states, Georgia and Nevada, are probably best classified as purple (Biden-blue Delaware is the other). The 10 slowest-hiring states all went for Biden.

Why are red states hiring so much faster than blue states?

Not from Fox News, originally from WaPo. Dems better look out. They need to keep this quiet before 2024.

I really don’t know what it shows

A state with full employment will not be hiring much.
Don’t see that as a negative

I dont see anything to be happy about in our economy.

We need to bring back manufacturing, heavy industry, steel production.

If we dont lead the world, freedom and liberty dies in the world

Blue states did not have more employment in 2020.

"The unemployment rate in most states peaked in April 2020 and has since declined. In December
2020, the five states with the highest unemployment rates were Hawaii (9.3%), Nevada (9.2%),
California (9.0%), Colorado (8.4%), and New Mexico (8.2%). The states with the lowest
unemployment rates in December 2020 were Nebraska (3.0%), South Dakota (3.0%), Iowa
(3.1%), Vermont (3.1%), and Utah (3.6%).

While the figure shows that in December 2020 most states were substantially below their peak
unemployment rates, several states’ recoveries have seemingly slowed. Colorado’s unemployment rate has either plateaued or increased in every month, month-over-month, from September (6.4%) to December 2020 (8.4%). Nine other states with elevated rates exhibited wavering recoveries over the same period, as rates either increased or stalled in at least two of three months. Ranked by their recent unemployment rates, these states are Rhode Island (10.5% in September 2020 to 8.1% in December 2020), New Jersey (6.7% to 7.6%), Arizona (6.5% to 7.5%), Michigan (8.6% to 7.5%), North Carolina (7.2% to 6.2%), Tennessee (6.5% to 6.4%), Kentucky (5.6% to 6.0%), Wisconsin (5.4% to 5.5%), and South Carolina (5.2% to 4.6%). For most of these states, rates declined from September to October before stalling or increasing in November and December."
