Gov. Scott Walker’s troubled job agency has not created new jobs in Milwaukee’s Sherman Park neighborhood, despite claiming credit for 483.

Citizen Action conducted a review of reporting by Gov. Scott Walker’s jobs agency and could verify no job creation in the area, which was the site of civil unrest over the weekend.

As Citizen Action of Wisconsin documented in its statement Tuesday on the Sherman Park civil unrest, the neighborhood has borne the brunt of the outsourcing and deindustrialization that has taken place since the 1970s.

From what we here from the Rellies,job creation is smoke and mirrors with a major brain drain happening. Those who can get their Houses sold are bailing to Minnesota for better pay and work opportunities. Just had a conversation with the Bro,his area is being hit big time with the closure of the Frack Sand Mines and all of the Second and third tier jobs that go with it. But,that's okay,those Casino Jobs really really pay big bucks don't you know.
