Since the state by state listing runs on a script, it wasn't easy to show the actual data. But I managaed to capture it in a screen grab.
We don't find Texas in the top ten, and while the states are for the most part more conservative than liberal, they are mostly REALLY rural. Only Florida is a heavily populated state in the Top 10. And it, like Nevada, had among the biggest drops during the recession, so it had the most to gain during a recovery, even a tepid one. So yes, states like North Dakota, Wyoming and South Dakota are more inviting for small time enterpreneurs, given its natural resources and boom. Even a small influx of investors can make a huge difference, as the states are so sparsely populated.
Now, let's look at the Bottom Ten:
Why looky here, it looks like the entire rust belt is hovering in the same zone. Even Minnesota, with its impressive 3.7% unemployment rate (these numbers for ALL states are undoubtedly low, but they are allwe have to make rtelative comparisons), could do no better than 47th.
The bottom ten also seems to be based more on factors outside of politics.
You have been suspended before, probably because you changed the headline that focused on Hillary Clinton,a dn made it about Scott Walker . . . TWICE. You are looking for a statistic, any statistic that can portray Scott Walker in a bad light. In six months, when the jobs being cut in Texas right now due to the slump in oil prices sends Texas down the list of "jobs created", it will not change the fact that Texas is still eons ahead of most of the nation in job climate, and any drop will be neither the fault of Gov, Abbot or Sen. Cruz.
And trust me, if you had to be dropped with a parachute tomorrow and find a job in the state that you landed, you would MUCH rather land in #50 Wisconsin than #26 Illinois.
Ronald Reagan once said that there are "lies, damned lies, and statistics", and the worst of these is statistics.
