RNC STATEMENT ON FEBRUARY STATE JOBS NUMBERS

WASHINGTON – Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on the February state jobs numbers:

“The Biden gas hike, the tax and spend agenda in blue states, and Democrat lockdowns are leaving Americans behind. The data is clear: Republican leadership works, while Biden and the Democrats leave families behind. Republican governors and legislatures are delivering for hardworking Americans and unleashing opportunity for all.”

Background: 

  •  Through January, 15 of the top 20 states for jobs recovered since the coronavirus pandemic began are led by Republican governors, and 17 of the top 20 states have Republican-controlled legislatures.
    • The top six states for jobs recovered are all led by Republicans.
  • Out of the top 20 states with the lowest unemployment rates, 17 are led by Republican governors and 17 have Republican-controlled legislatures.
  • 10 states hit new record low unemployment rates, nine of which have Republican governors and all 10 have Republican-controlled legislatures.
