While places like California are begging for additional federal aid, South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is turning down extra federal unemployment aid because the state has a high rate of job recovery. Therefore people are working and do not need to rely on unemployment.
“Gov. Kristi Noem (R), a vocal ally of the White House, said South Dakota did not need the additional funds because workers in her state have been rehired and that its economy is rebounding after suffering economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic,” The Hill reported.
Noem gave a statement praising President Donald Trump for his leadership during this pandemic, adding that her administration is “very grateful for the additional flexibility that this effort would have provided, but South Dakota is in the fortunate position of not needing to accept it.”
South Dakota's economy, having never been shut down, has recovered nearly 80% of our job losses.
We're the only state in the nation that didn't have extended unemployment benefits kick in because our insured unemployment rate has been the lowest in the nation. (2/)

She continued, "South Dakota’s economy, having never been shut down, has recovered nearly 80% of our job losses. South Dakota is the only state in the nation that didn’t have extended benefits kick in because our insured unemployment rate has been the lowest in the nation. We have the third best housing construction market in the country. And many, many businesses are looking to relocate to South Dakota because of the decisions we made during the pandemic. South Dakota is open for business — that applies to our business owners and their employees."
I bet the left is absolutely hating her right now! How do you like those crackers, Gov. Cuomo??
Despite significant disfunction in Congress, @realDonaldTrump continues to problem solve and provide great leadership during our #COVID19 recovery effort. (4/4)
