Red States’ Economies Fare Better Amid CCP Virus, Unemployment Data Indicates

[Anonymous]

Republican states have generally handled the economic impact of the CCP virus pandemic much better than Democrat states, based on unemployment data.



The lockdowns imposed in response to the coronavirus pandemic hammered the economy countrywide, with unemployment rising from a historically low 3.5 percent in February to a record high 14.7 percent in April, before gradually dropping to 7.9 percent in September. Yet states that Trump won in 2016 have dealt with the blow much better, the data indicates.



Of the 10 states with the lowest unemployment in September, nine went for President Donald Trump in 2016. Of the 10 states with the highest unemployment, nine went for Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton that year.



The contrast becomes yet more stark when the states' unemployment rates before the pandemic are taken into account.



Unemployment rates in red states have risen on average by less than 2.7 percentage points compared to September the year before. In blue states, they rose nearly 5 points.



The biggest winner was Nebraska, where the rate only increased from 3 percent to 3.5 percent. In South Dakota, the rate went up from 3.4 percent to 4.1 percent and in Alaska, from 6.2 percent to 7.2 percent.



At the other end of the spectrum, Hawaii's unemployment rate increased from 2.7 percent to 15.1 percent, Nevada's from 3.7 percent to 12.6 percent, and California's from 3.9 percent to 11 percent.



Republican-led states tended to impose less-severe lockdowns in response to the pandemic and open their economies up earlier.



The number of workers seeking unemployment benefits last week fell by 55,000 to 787,000, an encouraging sign, since economists polled by Reuters expected 860,000 weekly filings.



A total of more than 23 million Americans were receiving some form of unemployment assistance in the week ending Oct. 3, a drop of just over 1 million from the week prior. There were 1.4 million people claiming such benefits at this time last year.

Now that we know more about the coronavirus, and the terrible effects of lock downs, the opinion of the medical community is shifting.

The Chretien/Martin years of cutting regulatory red tape, smaller more efficient government, lower flatter and simplified taxes lead to increased investment, deficit elimination, and prosperity. Stephen Harper continued this path after the 2008 financial crisis which lead to Canada leading the G7 out of the global crisis. Oh and we had national unity under Harper. Thankfully, Justin Trudeau ended this nightmare.

Sr was a bastard .. arrogant slimebag



I was reminded last week of so on an actually good W5 on the martial law situation



First it was not appropriate - local cops could have done it although Quebec was incompetent



A clip I did not recall was when a reporter asked "How far will you go with this marshall law" .. which got him to look directly at the  reporter and with a real smartassed look on his face replied .. "Just Watch Me"



1970 - At the height of the FLQ crisis, Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau is confronted by the media and responds with perhaps his most famous line.

This impromptu CBC-TV interview has become an archives legend.

PET's most famous line.

I really like Trump's peace diplomacy and blue collar prosperity policies. But, most elected Republicans suck from the same woke capitalist teat as all elected Democrats do. Trump offers a real alternative to both of those awful parties.
