If you look at the Wikepidia article cited by Taltarzac725, you will discover the following - "Job growth increased at a 1.3 percent rate during Romney's term, ranking Massachusetts 47th out of 50 states in that statistic during that time, in absolute terms.[18][35]
In relative terms, however, Massachusetts added 51,362 jobs during Romney's tenure, while its population grew by 26,500 residents during that same period.[36][37] Massachusetts therefore added two jobs for every resident gained.
The state's unemployment rate fell during the same period, from 5.6 to 4.7 percent.[35"

How many state governors can you cite with equal employment accomplishments?
