Under current Gov. Deval Patrick (D) — and a legislature still controlled by Democrats — the state experienced 4.2 percent job growth in the first quarter of 2011, better than twice the national average and good enough to rank in the top 10 nationally. That followed a year of solid growth in 2010, when Massachusetts was among the nation’s leaders in job growth.
Whoa!

What was Romney doing?

But employment is a lagging indicator right? Which means any job growth created during this perod of time comes from the previous administration. Thats what the Democrats said..
