If this is success I'd like to see failure.... where's the 250,000 new jobs that Walker promised????
Wisconsin is the only state that had "statistically significant" job losses over the most recent 12-month period, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
From March 2011 to March 2012, Wisconsin lost 23,900 jobs. That was the largest decrease in percentage terms in the country.
Those job losses came from both the public and private sector, but the public sector job losses (17,800) were larger than the private-sector job losses (6,100).
At the same time, Wisconsin was one of 18 states that had a statistically significant drop in the unemployment rate during the same period, from 7.6% to 6.8%.
Wisconsin has experienced both job declines and a drop in unemployment at various times over the past year. The two indicators come from different surveys, and the decline in the unemployment rate has also reflected a decline in the number of people looking for work.
The BLS report can be found here.

Unemployment has gone up under Barry....and they're not even reporting the real #s....(i.e. underemployed, or those who've stopped looking for work)....Obama has us on track to be the next Greece. Great. How about fuel prices and expendable income killing the middle class. This is what you get when you have an amateur with no business experience, who's a communitiy organizer (agitator) in the White House. He is clueless. You'd have to be high to re-elect Obama. He's going to get pummeled at the polls in November. People are waking up and don't buy the media's garbage any longer.
Though often asked, God does not take sides in politics or college football.
