Not only is he rolling it back, he’s showing that such rollbacks have great benefits.
THAT’s truly what the left fears about trying conservative ideas, because they work, and point out the failures of the left’s ideas.

I recently ran across just the sort of ammunition Walker needs to make his case. It’s the Gallup Polls annual survey of hiring intentions.
Gallup, during each year, surveys employees in each state to find out if the state’s employers are hiring, firing, or doing neither. They survey hundreds or thousands in each state and then get a raw number that is just %hiring minus %firing. So if 40% are hiring and 25% are firing the state gets a raw score of 15. States are then ranked by raw score. North Dakota has come out on top for the last 5 years, as would be expected given the fracking revolution and the small population in the state.
Wisconsin, under Democrat Governor Doyle ranked poorly, in the mid 30’s among all states in 2008 and 2009 (before and after the recession). During Walker’s first year in office in 2011, WI ranked 20th. After a steady improvement each year, it’s now essentially tied with Texas and Nebraska for second place behind North Dakota. (It’s actually ranked 4th, but all three have the same raw score after rounding...31 vs. ND’s 36.)
So, in a nutshell, during Walker’s first term, Wisconsin became one of the top states to find employers who are hiring whereas under Doyle it was in the bottom third.
(Using search terms “Gallup job creation index 2014” will get you to the survey for the past year and changing the year will get you other years’ surveys.)
