Unemployment went down across the entire nation since 2010. This means that policies passed helped the situation. This article does not prove that republican policies exclusively raised employment, and democratic policies did not. Nor does it mention which policies had bipartisan support. In short, this article tells us nothing, except that unemployment has declined since 2010. But it has also declined since 2008. So again, this article is useless.

Some awesome news: all 17 states that elected a Republican governor in 2010 has seen a reduction in their unemployment levels. In just over a year and a half since those new executives took office, these states have seen some serious improvement:

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%
