West Virginia election hinges on jobs and economy
In a gubernatorial campaign feature, Arch Moore and Jay Rockefeller duel on job creation and unemployment. Rockefeller pledges 50,000 new jobs and $77.1 million in programs, while Moore touts past gains and blames policy shifts for job losses amid a high statewide unemployment rate. The piece frames the race as a test of economic proposals and political narratives.

He notes Nixon’s minimal campaigning taps the apathy vote while McGovern’s vigorous trips may hurt him. The final two weeks could narrow the gap if McGovern tones down his tempo.
