America s Two-Track Jobs Recovery – WSJ

By Thomas A. Smith

Lockdowns and other harsh government measures don t stop Covid, so why is the White House still trying to defend them? Stronger COVID measures produce STRONGER ECONOMIC outcomes, White House chief of staff Ron Klain tweeted Wednesday. That s why jobs, growth and economic activity are UP this year, significantly over last year.

Egad. Jobs and economic growth have rebounded as vaccines became widely available and Democratic-led states finally lifted their destructive lockdowns. But lockdown states continue to suffer high unemployment while Republican-led states that maintained many fewer restrictions have almost fully recovered.
