Republican Governors Outperforming Dem Counterparts

Rebellion · Jul 16, 2012

And it ain't even close. This should not surprise anyone as Republican governors have spent decades inheriting messes from their dem counterparts and turning things around for the better (hi Massachusetts). It continues today where Republican ran unemployment rates are 50% less than dems.

Every single one of these 17 states has seen its unemployment rate decline since January 2011. Three of them have had unemployment drop by more than 2% (Michigan, Florida, and Nevada). The average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%. For a comparison, in January 2011 the U.S. national unemployment rate stood at 9.1%. It is currently 8.2%, meaning that the national unemployment rate has declined by just 0.9% since then. Based on these percentages, it can be said that the job market in states with new Republican governors is improving a full 50% faster than the job market nationally.

The average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 0.95%, approximately the same as the drop seen nationally. It's interesting to note than one of these states (New York) has actually experienced an increase in its unemployment rate since January 2011.
