For the period January 2003 – January 2007, the Romney record on state
government job growth is compared against the national state employment
aggregate. Likewise, private sector job growth in Massachusetts is
compared against the national private sector aggregate, thus,
benchmarking the Romney record against the national record.
The comparisons make clear that state government employment increased 2.8% in Massachusetts, more than twice the national state government employment aggregate of 1.1%. Private sector employment over the same period in Massachusetts increased 1.4%, less than a quarter of the national aggregate of 5.9%. It should be noted that this comparative performance decrement mirrors economic growth in the state as annual real GDP grew 1.6% over Romney’s tenure, as opposed to an annual increase of 2.7% nationally.
