Wisconsin lags nation in payroll growth.

Back in the 80's and 90's companies liked coming here because lower paying jobs were grabbed up by people accustomed to a lower living standard.

"While Wisconsin's job losses led the nation, its unemployment rate fell to 7.3 percent, marking the lowest level in a year."
No silly goose, the unemployment rate fell because people gave up looking for work. Why did that national unemployment rate fall from 9% to 8.6%? HINT: It was not because all those people found jobs.
Sorry Wisconsin, but I was so busy busting unions and cutting taxes for the 1% that I completely forgot to create jobs.
Sincerely,
Scott Walker

Capitol Report: Wisconsin leads nation in job losses
Wisconsin's economic engine is proving a stubborn one to jump-start, with the state's 14,600 jobs lost in November the highest number nationally, according to an analysis of preliminary federal unemployment data released Tuesday.
The state-by-state comparison of unemployment rates and job-loss figures released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics offers the first glimpse of how each state's November job numbers, which were released Dec. 15, stack up against one another. It's the second month in a row that preliminary figures ranked Wisconsin worst.

This should not be surprising, since Scott Walker alings himself with JOB CREATORS who create jobs in CHINA:
Small Biz Owner In Walker Ad Actually a Billionaire Outsourcer, Member of China Business Council
This ad shows a "small business" owner talking about how Scott Walker is a friend to the small businessman. But as popular Wisconsin blog UppityWis notes, “Chris†is Chris Rebholz, owner of TriStar Products, a company specializing in outsourcing jobs to China. TriStar Products makes all of the useless items you see on TV infomercials...and they make them in China. In fact, Rebholz likes working with China so much that he is on the China Business Council.
