Are you kidding me? I was in TN in 2017 & 2019 for work & there’s a huge boom there. Housing, car factories, music industry. TN is more than back drop for #HeeHaw travel the country a bit!

Girl. Get over yourself. I live here and in a very small county. Everywhere you turn there are "now hiring" signs.

They don’t care about the entire state. They only care about the “Branson, Disney, Nashville Hybrid” that is down town Nashville. And those of us who live here are being priced out of housing by greedy developers, while the hospitality/service industry there pays poorly.

The thousands of people who just fled from blue states to Tennessee beg to differ.

Every company where I live is hiring and can’t get employees. This state has a balanced budget with no income tax. We provide Medicaid to uninsured citizens and 2 years free technical school and community college. It’s all about people’s choices.

Tennessee has an unemployment rate of 5.1%. The US average is 6.0%. Tennessee has seen the job market increase by 1.8% over the last year. Future job growth over the next ten years is predicted to be 41.6%, which is higher than the US average of 33.5%.

You're missing the point. He's saying the economy will begin to thrive when people get off the government teet and get back to work.

Actually, the 37th in per capita income to include DC (which so happens to have the highest 🤔) yet Tennessee is the sixth most affordable place to live. Perspective sure paints a different picture than your “10th poorest argument”
