"Counties around the U.S. where a majority of voters supported former President
Donald Trump in the 2020 election are regaining their lost jobs under President
Joe Biden more quickly than counties that voted in favor of the current
president, according to a new analysis of labor data.

"Through the end of the first quarter, Trump-supporting counties have regained
nearly all the jobs they lost when the pandemic first slammed the economy in
March of 2020, with employment just 0.3%, or 124,000 jobs, short of where it
was prior to the COVID-19 crisis, the Economic Innovation Group found. Counties
where a majority of residents voted for Biden had a deficit of 1.7 million jobs
rCo 1.8% short of pre-pandemic levels rCo by the end of the first quarter of
2022."

They go on to draw the conclusion that this is because blue areas have higher
populations and therefore lost more jobs which, of course, ignores that they
are comparing percentages of lost jobs recovered and not total populations.

I am guessing it is more likely state and local policies in these areas that
are helping in their faster recovery.
