This new breed of fiscally-conservative, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/topic\/tea-party\">tea party<\/a>-supported Republican governors took office in January 2011. Here is how those states have fared since then, in terms of their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/unemployment\">unemployment<\/a> rates:<\/p>\n<p>Kansas &#8211; 6.9% to 6.1% = a decline of 0.8%<\/p>\n<p>Maine &#8211; 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%<\/p>\n<p>Michigan &#8211; 10.9% to 8.5% = a decline of 2.4%<\/p>\n<p>New Mexico &#8211; 7.7% to 6.7% = a decline of 1.0%<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma &#8211; 6.2% to 4.8% = a decline of 1.4%<\/p>\n<p>Pennsylvania &#8211; 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6%<\/p>\n<p>Tennessee &#8211; 9.5% to 7.9% = a decline of 1.6%<\/p>\n<p>Wisconsin &#8211; 7.7% to 6.8% = a decline of 0.9%<\/p>\n<p>Wyoming &#8211; 6.3% to 5.2% = a decline of 1.1%<\/p>\n<p>Alabama &#8211; 9.3% to 7.4% = a decline of 1.9%<\/p>\n<p>Georgia &#8211; 10.1% to 8.9% = a decline of 1.2%<\/p>\n<p>South Carolina &#8211; 10.6% to 9.1% = a decline of 1.5%<\/p>\n<p>South Dakota &#8211; 5.0% to 4.3% = a decline of 0.7%<\/p>\n<p>Florida &#8211; 10.9% to 8.6% = a decline of 2.3%<\/p>\n<p>Nevada &#8211; 13.8% to 11.6% = a decline of 2.2%<\/p>\n<p>Iowa &#8211; 6.1% to 5.1% = a decline of 1.0%<\/p>\n<p>Ohio &#8211; 9.0% to 7.3% = a decline of 1.7%<\/p>\n<p>Every single one of these 17 states has seen its unemployment rate decline since January 2011. Three of them have had unemployment drop by more than 2% (Michigan, Florida, and Nevada). The average drop in the unemployment rate in these states was 1.35%. For a comparison, in January 2011 the U.S. national unemployment rate stood at 9.1%. It is currently 8.2%, meaning that the national unemployment rate has declined by just 0.9% since then. Based on these percentages, it can be said that the job market in states with new Republican governors is improving a full 50% faster than the job market nationally.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.examiner.com\/article\/new-republican-governors-rapidly-bringing-down-unemployment-their-states\">&#8230;Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article from the Examiner is making rounds on the net.
