communities that know how to create great paying jobs overwhelmingly reject Trump's policies. Communities that can't create great paying jobs think he knows what he's talking about.
Nationwide, Trump got 47% of the vote.
In the communities that create the highest paying jobs, Trump got only 20% of the vote.
In the communities with the lowest-paying jobs, Trump got 58% of the vote.
Put differently, people who least understand the economy are most likely to find Trump persuasive.
In the 10 counties with the highest average wages, Biden got nearly 4X as many votes as Trump.
In the 10 counties with the lowest average wages, Biden got only 0.8 votes for each vote Trump got.
What is the difference in wages in the 10 highest and 10 lowest paid counties? The highest make 2.7X as much on average.
Here is the latest data (3Q 2023) on the 10 highest and 10 lowest paying counties.
