This new breed of fiscally-conservative, tea party-supported Republican governors took office in January 2011. Here is how those states have fared since then, in terms of their unemployment rates: 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% Pennsylvania — 8.0% to 7.4% = a decline of 0.6% Tennessee — 9.5% to 7.9% = a decline of 1.6% Wisconsin — 7.7% to 6.8% = a decline of 0.9% Wyoming — 6.3% to 5.2% = a decline of 1.1% Alabama — 9.3% to 7.4% = a decline of 1.9% Georgia — 10.1% to 8.9% = a decline of 1.2% South Carolina — 10.6% to 9.1% = a decline of 1.5% South Dakota — 5.0% to 4.3% = a decline of 0.7% Florida — 10.9% to 8.6% = a decline of 2.3% Nevada — 13.8% to 11.6% = a decline of 2.2% </blockquote>
