https://wreg.com/news/governor-lee-inflating-available-job-numbers-memphis-democrat-says/NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — Tennessee Governor Bill Lee believes dropping federal unemployment benefits for Tennesseans was the right thing to do.
“The unemployment rate has plummeted, and we have a quarter million job openings in this state,” Gov. Lee said.
According to numbers on the Jobs4TN website, there are 250,000 job openings with an unemployment rate of 5 percent. Gov. Lee said those stats prove his approach to the unemployment crisis is working.
Qpuke lying is shocking, right?
