‘’300 basis points, to 5% from 8%. But the national rate, meantime, fell even faster, dropping 350 basis points to 5.7% from 9.2%.’’
Please discuss the statistical significance of 50 basis points. And you insist on using old unemployment data for Wisconsin. Currently Walker’s unemployment is FOUR POINT FOUR percent.

I’m not talking about unemployment data. I’m talking about Wisconsin being 50th in new business start ups, 40th in job creation and having a projected 2 billion dollar budget deficit. Then there is the matter of after spending 975 million, WEDC lost 2 jobs for every one gained for a net loss of -7000 jobs. Those jobs were sent overseas by companies that got WEDC funds.
Walker promised 250,000 but has only delivered around 149,000. All of these things may be an issue for him.
