- no more extension of benefits after the expiration date for people enrolled in job training or general education courses;

That's right, punish those who are trying to improve their job skills.

- mandatory disclosure of financial information of claimants by banks to DWD in the event of overpayment of benefits;

'Cause privacy is for "job creators", not you peons.

- prison labor hired by private companies is not subject to unemployment insurance contribution requirements;

'Cause hey, prison.

- more education and outreach activities and materials provided to employers;

Another give-away to Walker's donors.
