Pennsylvania Swings to Joe Biden's Jobs  

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/artic ... nton-booms

If good jobs mean anything, unemployment in these key states is much lower on average during Biden's first three years in the White House than during Trump's first term, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

Even when the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic is excluded, job creation under Biden is unsurpassed.Nowhere is the contrast more vivid than in Pennsylvania, where unemployment in Scranton – located in the northeast part of the state and where the Scranton Iron Furnaces pay homage to the city’s industrial past - is a record-low 2.9% and its cost of living is at least seven percentage points less than the national average. The fifth-largest state after California, Texas, Florida and New York, similarly has its lowest unemployment rate ever under Biden, 3.2%, and is leading the rest of the US by an unprecedented margin in modern times.

The Keystone State's almost 13 million people enjoy a more robust economy under Biden than Trump, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia's US Coincident Index, which tracks each state by metrics including nonfarm payroll employment, average hours worked in manufacturing by production workers, the unemployment rate and wage and salary disbursements deflated by the Consumer Price Index.

When Joementum comes to your blighted town, it's time to dust of your dancing shoes...

Throughout 2017, Trump's first year in the White House, Pennsylvania suffered an unemployment rate that was 0.8 percentage point higher than the US average, a gap that was the widest in 32 years at the time and which later expanded to as much as 1.3 percentage points in April 2020. The spread began to narrow in April 2021 during Biden's first year in office and reversed in May 2023 when the Pennsylvania jobless rate fell below the national average and it has continued to fall at a faster pace.
