-—So what?
I’m sure the VASTLY LARGER number of Illinoisans at SIX POINT ZERO PERCENT are not asking ’So What’. This blase attitude about the real suffering of your fellow citizens marks you as a liberal.
And when Illinois goes broke will there be more jobs or less??? BTW Wisconsin’s debt per capita was worse than Illinois until Walker’s reforms.
——Minnesota and North Dakota have lower unemployment rates than Wisconsin
Wow. That’s dramatic information, that really reflects poorly on Walker OH WAIT!!!!!. Did you know that North Dakota has lower unemployment.... because of an Oil Boom? Is Walker supposed to find large oil reserves in Wisconsin? What a maroon!!!!
Minnesota has followed a smart strategy of high-tech for years. Since Wisconsin’s unemployment is at nearly full employment levels, it does not reflect on Walker.
——The unemployment rate of Wisconsin, just as the national unemployment rate, does not reflect those who have stopped looking.
It does not reflect dispirited workers in SIX POINT ZERO unemployment Illinois nor in FIVE POINT FIVE Michigan.
But in this case the statistics are available and Wisconsin’s labor force participation EXCELS!!!!!! Wooo hooo go Walker.
“””Additionally, the state’s labor force participation rate of 68.4 percent outpaced the national rate of 62.7 percent by 5.7 percentage points.””””

-—The poor stats on jobs, salaries and the middle class still stand
The lies about poor stats on jobs, salaries will continue to be refuted by real statistics.
The labor participation rate was 69% when Walker took office. The fact that it now stands at 68% is not a reason for celebration.
There is a resource that Wisconsin has that could have been developed more to provide jobs. Wisconsin is the Saudi Arabia of sand. There has been some development in this area, but not nearly enough.
