Re: Nikki for president!!

I am focusing on jobs, and South Dakota has been a smashing success with 20,000 current job openings - in a state with a population of under a million. You're not going to see anything remotely like that in New York.

A worker in SD is: 3 times more likely to commit suicide; nearly 3 times more likely to be killed by a firearm; and 4 times as likely to be an alcoholic. They have more job openings because their workers don't last. :=)

A better measure than job openings would be comparing the year-to-year employment-to-population ratio.

Here's a link to that table:

You will note that SD remained constant from 2021 to 2022 at 66.8, whereas NYS increased from 55.3 to 57.7. The US increase was 1.6, so NYS' 2.4 increase isn't shabby. It's better than FL's 2.1, another of your model states.
