Six months of private sector job losses not stopping Walker from saying he’s creating jobs on Fox News
It sure looks like Walker’s record as governor attacking the working class and rewarding his political contributors with tax loopholes and kickbacks isn’t working out for the people of Wisconsin.

College dropout Scott Walker caught in lie about college grads attending tech schools

Walker’s campaign promise of 250,000 new private sector jobs by 2015 looks like it’s not going to happen
When Walker became governor, the unemployment rate in Wisconsin was 7.3%. It’s now 7.8%. Walker’s promise of creating 250,00 private-sector jobs by 2015 is seen as impossible, thanks to Walker attacking workers and drumming up enough negative headlines that would make any sane private sector interest look elsewhere to locate… Read the full story »
Walker wants anti-consumer “Jobs” bills made law helping his corporate donors while not creating new jobs

Scott Walker did technically say he would create jobs while governor, but he perhaps failed to mention that those jobs were created in neighboring states. It’s frankly confounding how he would use data from a jobs website to somehow parse credit for jobs in those other states. Is he that… Read the full story »

Nearly 22,000 Wisconsin jobs could be lost from Walker’s careless legislation, decimating economic recovery
