The news service found that 58.5 percent of the significant job gains touted by Trump were concentrated in areas that backed Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016.
The AP also found that 35.4 percent of Trump counties have lost jobs in the past year, compared to 19.2 percent of Clinton counties.
The most significant job gains have occurred in the counties that include liberal cities Houston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and Seattle, according to the AP."

Of course, the other way to look at this is that Obama told us that those jobs were "never coming back". And look - they're coming back.

Oh, and from that same article:
Brookings compiled a list of the top 10 states by contribution to 2016-2017 national manufacturing job growth. Only two states listed, California and Illinois, did not vote for Donald Trump.
The chart is in the linked article.
