Blue States Left Behind
The data proves it.
It now appears that Texas and Arizona have just become the two newest red states to join the other group of red states (Utah and Idaho) to have officially regained all the jobs back that they lost pre-pandemic!
All four of these states have one key difference compared to blue stated: they have relaxed COVID-19 policies and have allowed the economy to reopen and jobs to grow.
Democrats were unhappy to learn that all of these states are Republican controlled states and some of them have even exceeded the pre-pandemic jobs.
Currently, blue states such as New York, California, Vermont, Michigan and more have a much lower rate of recovery and Democrat leadership refuses to acknowledge these facts.
New York for example has a very strict vaccine mandate for all employees working in New York City.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently stated, “By reaching nearly 13 million jobs last month, Texas has surpassed our pre-pandemic employment levels — a remarkable achievement and testament to our welcoming business climate and strong workforce.”
