Those states are aren't anything to celebrate. Though some nice people live in them, they are mostly rural and lacking in education and marketable skills. Applauding jobs there is humorous. .
Applauding jobs anywhere is smart. I live in Connecticut, and we lost 6,000 jobs last month, and maintain a far above US average unemployment rate. I'd love to see us get the job growth Middle America is getting, as well as the Southeast.
Our one blessing (sar) is people are quitting the workforce, as opposed to being "unemployed".
With Wichita, KS one could argue that Trump increased job growth. From Jan to May 2017 job growth was higher than average. But what policies did Trump pass to create this job increase?
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Dakota sure voted for their best interests when they rushed to the ballots last November to vote in President Trump in a huge, huge, huge landslide in those states.
What laws did Trump pass to raise Wichita, KS job growth from Jan to May 2017?
I’m still waiting for Trump to live up to his promise to coal miners about getting their high paying jobs back.
The coal corporations give campaign money to republican politicians not the coal miners. And republican Donald Trumps coal policies will increase coal corporation profits (not create high paying jobs.) https://www.opensecrets.org/industri...2018&ind=E1210
Trump is also pushing back/abolishing safety regulations for coal miners. Trump abolished safety regulations that stop miners from getting black lung, abolished regulations stopping miners from being run over by mining machines, abolished regulations to improve underground coal mine safety, and abolished regulations providing miners refuge alternatives in the event of underground explosions and fires.
And Trump could not bring back coal jobs even he wanted to.
"Industry experts say coal mining jobs will continue to be lost, not because of blocked access to coal, but because power plant owners are turning to natural gas." ex.ex. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...=.6b8f2f5e7b33
"There were 220,000 jobs in the industry in 1980. In the decades that followed, as production increased, jobs declined, because technology and automation made it possible to extract more coal with far fewer miners. When production peaked in 2008 — before coal plants started closing en masse — only 82,000 jobs remained."
"There are now about 65,000 jobs left. That number will continue to fall in the years ahead, as technological advancements continue to displace workers and as cleaner and cheaper forms of energy continue to displace the industry itself."
"The fact is, putting coal miners back to work is no more possible from a business standpoint than putting telegraph operators back to work taking Morse code or putting Eastman Kodak employees back to work manufacturing film rolls." https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...=.051c32057567

All of the above under Trump maintain the same regulations and laws as existed during Bill Clinton's tenure.
We simply erased the BO overreach whose goal was to destroy the entire coal industry.

Coal mining jobs are being replaced by clean energy. Why do we want to expose anyone to black lung disease anymore.
So you would then want coal jobs to be thriving. Glad we agree.
No I don't because there are better alternatives without people dying.
