The original premise that I heard was from a political pundit that said,
"states with republican governors have on average had lower unemployment."
I pulled the data and verified that statement.

U3 vs population percentage? Hmmm...let's start with trying to figure
out what you're trying to get at. Is the hypothesis that large states
like California and Texas would have higher unemployment rates because
they have more people? The problem I see with that is that
unemployment rates are alrea
