As most would expect, states that managed the pandemic better generally have lower unemployment rates than states run by Democrats. The pandemic just focused attention on the poor business climate that existed in most blue states before the pandemic and then got much worse during the pandemic because of mismanagement.

Tale of two economies: Red states roaring, blue states beset by high unemployment

Of the 31 states that had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. national average of 6.1%, the overwhelming majority, 26, are Republican-led states.

Republican-led states and Vermont reported the lowest unemployment rates in April, according to a new report by the U.S. Commerce Department. States led by Democratic governors recorded the highest jobless rates, according to the report.

Unemployment rates were lower in April in 12 states and the District of Columbia and stable in 38 states, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

States with the highest unemployment rates in April were Hawaii (8.5%), California (8.3%), New Mexico and New York (both at 8.2%), and Connecticut (8.1%). All five states with the highest unemployment are run by Democratic trifectas, meaning Democrats control the governor's office and both houses of the state legislature.

The four states with the lowest jobless rates in April were all run by Republican trifectas: Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Dakota and Utah, with 2.8% each. Vermont, with a Republican governor and a Democratic-controlled state House and Senate, ranked fifth-best with an unemployment rate of 2.9%.

Overall, 31 states had unemployment rates lower than the U.S. national average of 6.1%. The majority, 26, are Republican-led states. Of the 19 states and the District of Columbia with jobless rates higher than the national average, 14 are led by Democrats.

Now Quooter wasn't that long ago you was using the same data saying the democrat states was staying closed to hurt your Dear Leader's re-election bid Now you are using the same data but don't know what your end game is ?
Which one is it are they hurting Dear Leader or you just hate Democrats
Now let's not forget all the US government jobs that are in heavily red states and they are a lot of them without them I believe the numbers would change some

Nice, Vector.  
These conservatives on here talk themselves in circles.  It’s what happens when you live in a vacuum.
