In 2010, influenced by the Tea Party and its focus on fiscal issues, 17 states elected Republican governors. And, according to an Examiner.com analysis, every one of those states saw a drop in their unemployment rates since January of 2011. Furthermore, the average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%, compared to the national decline of .9%, which means, according to the analysis, that the job market in these Republican states is improving 50% faster than the national rate.
Since January of 2011, here is how much the unemployment rate declined in each of the 17 states that elected Republican governors in 2010, according to the Examiner:
Kansas – 6.9% to 6.1% = a decline of 0.8%
Maine – 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%
Michigan – 10.9% to 8.5% = a decline of 2.4%
New Mexico – 7.7% to 6.7% = a decline of 1.0%
Oklahoma – 6.2% to 4.8% = a decline of 1.4%
Pennsylvania – 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%
Tennessee – 9.5% to 7.9% = a decline of 1.6%
Wisconsin – 7.7% to 6.8% = a decline of 0.9%
Wyoming – 6.3% to 5.2% = a decline of 1.1%
Alabama – 9.3% to 7.4% = a decline of 1.9%
Georgia – 10.1% to 8.9% = a decline of 1.2%
South Carolina – 10.6% to 9.1% = a decline of 1.5%
South Dakota – 5.0% to 4.3% = a decline of 0.7%
Florida – 10.9% to 8.6% = a decline of 2.3%
Nevada – 13.8% to 11.6% = a decline of 2.2%
Iowa – 6.1% to 5.1% = a decline of 1.0%
Ohio – 9.0% to 7.3% = a decline of 1.7%

And over in states that elected Democrats in 2010...
State Jan 2011 Current Change
California 12 10.8 1.2
Arkansas 8 7.3 0.7
Colorado 8.8 8.1 0.7
Hawaii 6.7 6.3 0.4
Illinois 9.4 8.6 0.8
Maryland 7.3 6.8 0.5
Massachusetts 7.8 6 1.8
Minnesota 6.8 5.6 1.2
New Hampshire 5.6 5 0.6
New York 8.2 8.6 -0.4
Oregon 9.9 8.4 1.5
Vermont 6 4.6 1.4
New York seems to be fairing pretty poorly, but otherwise things seem to be doing okay. Can't really fault New Hampshire for not falling apart in the first place.

You wouldn't be trying to do something like deflection, would you? The title of the thread said something about Republican governors and you went completely off topic.

Completely off topic? Are you serious?
It's not deflection at all. It's numbers for states that elected Democrats in 2010. You could, say, compare it to states that elected Republicans. But I suppose that, since this forum is dominated by head-in-the-sand right wing ideologues, we should just gloat about how liberals are idiots who only respond to emotion.

And employed burger flippers probably became worse off in every one of those states.
