Walker’s empire is beginning to crumble

Walker’s empire is beginning to crumble from within

This article gives insight into how some Wisconsin Republican legislators view how they were deceived or coerced into voting against their own conscience and their constituents' interests.

Job Loss Walker's Fault

Job Slump IS Walker's Fault! 

 

See Journal Sentinal article and chart using this link:   JSOnline article link 

 

The chart shows how Wisonsin compares to the national average (hint, not good).  

The data and the article points out that Wisconsin's jobs started losing ground when Walker took office and slowed even more when his budget went into effect.

Jobs Charts Post Act 10

 It is not working

Although Wisconsin gained 9,100 jobs over the last year, we have LOST 15,900 jobs for the two years after Walker took office (from 2,744,800 to 2,728,900).  But, the first 6 months of 2011, before Act 10 kicked in, had a healthy gain up to 2,775,100.  That is a gain of 31,100 for the first 6 months before Walker's policies took effect (10th best in the nateion). So we actually have lost from 2,775,100 down to 2,728,900 or a loss of 46,200 jobs in the 18 months following Act 10.  This puts us 50th in the nation.  A distant 50th - the 49th state lost 6,700 jobs. 

 

Jobs were recovering nicely before Act 10 (2,815,400 Jan 2009).  After Walker’s budget went into effect, Wisconsin’s employment went down to where they were at the bottom of the recession (low point for recession 2,713,700 in Nov 2009, 2,716,800 in July 2012, and a close second low of 2,719,400 in Nov 2011).  They are still not recovering at 2,728,900 for Dec 2012.  In the 16 months before Act 10, Wisconsin gained 371,000 jobs, best in the nation and far ahead of #2 (Hawaii had gain of 210,700).
