Wisconsin job creation rank falls to 38th in U.S... nice job Walker!

Yeah, the country definitely wants this guy to have the keys to the US Economy. Huge tax breaks for the top 1% and austerity for everyone else. Slash and burn the state's University system. Trash public education and shift money to for-profit charter schools. It's working everyone! Big and Bold! It's working!!

From the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel:

Wisconsin gained 27,491 private-sector jobs in the 12 months from September 2013 through September 2014, a 1.16% increase that ties Wisconsin with Vermont at a rank of 38 among the 50 states in the pace of job creation during that period.

Wisconsin continued to trail the national rate of job creation, as it has since July 2011. The United States created private-sector jobs at a rate of 2.3% in the latest 12-month period, twice Wisconsin's 1.16% rate, the data show.

will be interesting to see how Scottie explains this away whiile tying it to and blaming Obama at the same time. Hopefully he will be reminded how the other 37 states are making it work.

The winter weather is bad enough. And then to have this corrupt snake in the grass running the show is yet another reason to leave. Maybe if enough leave, they'll get the point.
