Of the 17 fastest-hiring states, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 14 voted for Trump in 2020. The top two Biden-voting states, Georgia and Nevada, are probably best classified as purple. The 10 slowest-hiring states all went for Biden.

Have we all missed a hidden red-state resurgence? For every politician who loves to talk about job creation, there are several economists who love to remind us that politics don't have much influence on the economy. A political split this stark is as rare as a 17-pound potato, and at least as newsworthy.
More perplexingly, we found that faster hiring hasn't translated to faster job growth. When we ran the payroll numbers, the typical red state wasn't adding jobs any faster than the typical blue one. It's also why the ever-genial Bunker becomes uncharacteristically agitated when he discusses the "Great Resignation." Yes, everybody was quitting, but they weren't giving up. They were getting rehired elsewhere.
But while quitting rates are correlated with some high-turnover industries - particularly the one containing increasingly ubiquitous dollar stores - it's probably not the full explanation. Because further analysis shows that red states have higher worker turnover than blue states in almost every major industry.
As usual, she's right. An index from the anti-poverty outfit Oxfam America measuring workers' right to organize is even more strongly correlated to a higher quits rate than Trump vote: The quits rate is lower in union-friendly states. He also spun out an interesting theory: Turnover is higher when workers and employers aren't a good match. And it's harder to find a good match in rural areas, where workers don't have a ton of job prospects, and in areas with less education, where employers struggle to find workers with the right skills. And we did see some correlation with turnover in both cases.
