As of September 18, 2020, these are the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates in the country: NE; UT; ID; SD; VT; ND; AL; GA; MT and OK. The 10 states with the highest unemployment rates, all in excess of 10%, are: PA; NJ; IL; MA; NM; CA; HI; NY; RI and NV.
See a pattern? Of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment rates, only Montana has a Democrat governor. Of the 10 states with the highest unemployment rates, only one, Massachusetts, has a Republican governor. Additionally, of the 10 states with the highest unemployment rates, all have Democrat control of both houses of the state legislature except for Pennsylvania, with Republican control of both houses.
I live in deep blue New Mexico, one of the terrible ten with unemployment rates in excess of ten percent. NM has had single-party Dem rule at the state level for most of the last 90 years. In the state legislature, the last time Republicans held a majority in both houses at the same time was 1930. In the 90 years since 1931, Dems have held a majority in both houses of the legislature for 80 of those years. In the appellate court system, the last time Republicans held a majority on the NM Supreme Court was in the 1920s.

Massachusetts has a “Democrat” governor who dresses up as a Republican for Halloween. He’s been every bit as bad as his D counterparts.
This is a key part of the dem strategy, of course. Drag down the economy and push voters to Biden. After all, they are protecting their surfs (lockdown) and they are all worse off than they were before Trump (people vote their pocketbook).
I say it is time for serious talk of disunion. CA, for one, wants it and there are others. For God’s sake, give it to them along with the rest of the losers.
“Massachusetts has a “Democrat” governor who dresses up as a Republican for Halloween.”
That’s funny!
My Governor actually had the hutzpah to run for President on the Democrat ticket and LOST to Sleepy Joe!
He’s the Governor of Montana and is running for Senate against the very fine Steve Daines.
Hopefully we will have a Republican for Governor after this election.
I noticed you signed up on my birthday.
Biden said yesterday he would consider Baker for his cabinet.
Charlie Baker, R-Mass is hardly a poster child for the GOP. He makes Collins up in Maine look “steadfast.”
Small Deval had to tell folks he would NOT take a job in the Biden Cabinet.
Mass Republicans are a special breed. We elect them, but they are not expected to act like Republicans.
<y take is that a southern democrat is more conservative than a northeastern republican.
Nevada has multiple lawsuits against it due to NOT processing Unemployment claims & actually PAYING people.
Friend filed for Unemployment March 26...still has NOT received a single penny.
Court has issued other charges.
American Thinker website too cluttered to be useable, but Iowa had a September unemployment rate of 4.7%.
Iowa had an 18 year record low unemployment rate of 2.6% in July 2018.
