发帖数: 1 | 1 States with Republican governors are leading the U.S. economic recovery from
the coronavirus pandemic, while those run by Democrats – which tended to
impose lengthier and stricter lockdowns on businesses – are faced with
significantly higher unemployment rates.
Labor Department data published last week shows the 10 states with the
lowest unemployment rates are all led by GOP governors – while the 10
states with the highest percentage of out-of-work Americans are run by
Democratic governors.
Blue states including Nevada (7.7%), New York (7.6%), New Mexico (7.6%),
California (7.6%) and New Jersey (7.3%) had substantially higher
unemployment rates than the national average of 5.4% in July, the data shows
. By comparison, red states – such as Nebraska (2.3%), Utah (2.6%), New
Hampshire (2.9%), South Dakota (2.9%) and Idaho (3%) – were well below the
national average. |
