New Bureau of Labor Statistics data shows that Red states outperformed their Blue counterparts on job creation. since the pandemic era.

According to the BLS’ nonfarm payrolls, seasonally adjusted between February 2020 and November 2024, nine of ten states leading in job creation were mostly Red.

Most importantly, the top five states were Republican trifecta, which voted for Trump and had GOP’s control of the House of Representatives and the Senate at the time the data was compiled.

Additionally, the only Blue state, which also appeared at the bottom of the top ten list, at position nine, was Nevada, a lean Democratic state. Colorado, a Democrat trifecta at the time, appeared at position eleven.

Only three Democrat-run states debuted on the list of the top 20 performers. Two were Democrat trifectas at that time (Colorado and Delaware), while one was a lean Democrat (Nevada), which also appeared the highest on the list at position nine.

Unsurprisingly, Blue states, mostly with Democrat trifectas, dominated the list of poor performers on job creation. In contrast, Idaho, Utah, and Florida, all Republican trifectas, dominated the top three positions on job creation. Most of these states take pride in lower taxes and fewer regulations in opening and maintaining businesses.

Among the bottom ten performers, three were Republican trifectas (IA, WV, and LA), while twice as many were Democrat trifectas (NY, MA, IL, MD, D.C., and HI), and one was lean Democrat (Vermont).

Most bottom performers have very draconian regulations and crushing taxes, which result in an unfavorable business environment that discourages investment.

For example, Hawaii, the worst performer, has very strict environmental, building, and licensing regulations and higher minimum wage and state taxes.

Similarly, the District of Columbia, the runners-up in the race to the bottom, has higher sales, corporate, unincorporated (UBFT), and property taxes. It also has one of the highest minimum wages in the country and almost impossible business regulations.

During the COVID-19 recovery, the Red states also performed better than their Blue counterparts did. Sixteen of twenty states that recovered better had Republican governors and a GOP-controlled legislature. Similarly, of the bottom 10 states on post-COVID-19 job recovery, eight were Democrat-led.

The data is conclusive that Republican-led states have better prospects for job creation. Such states also have fewer benefits for illegal immigrants, unlike Blue states, which provide free accommodation, healthcare, and meals for undocumented individuals at the expense of legal residents.

With immigrants taking the biggest chunk of new jobs created while U.S.-born citizens are pushed out of the labor force, according to various studies, it is not surprising why Red states have better job prospects.

Nonetheless, Biden continues to brag about “strong economic data” despite recent studies showing his administration might have overestimated job creation so close to the election by as much as 3 million.
