We periodically report on job growth since the pandemic with color-coding for political control, via UP senior fellow, EJ Antoni. Here’s his latest look, through year-end 2025.  Seven of the top 10 have unified Republican control, while the other three have divided government. Six of the bottom 10 have unified Democratic control, and deep blue Massachusetts, Hawaii, and DC have STILL not recovered pre-pandemic employment levels.

Massachusetts recently passed a soak the rich millionaire tax raising the income tax and capital gains tax from 5% to 9% on millionaires. And the state now ranks 47th in job growth.

What’s the definition of insanity again?
