Scott Walker, Job Creator

Quote:State officials said they show a gain of 23,321 jobs (public and private) between December 2010 and December 2011, which represents Gov. Scott Walker's first full year in office.

That stands in sharp contrast to a commonly used and widely reported monthly jobs measure, the Current Employment Survey, which earlier this year showed an estimated loss of 33,900 jobs in Wisconsin for the same 12-month period.

Job numbers are reported in different ways, based on different sources, and it's been common throughout the current recovery for different data to tell different stories.

But in this case, one set of well-publicized numbers (from the Current Employment Survey of businesses) put Wisconsin at the very bottom of 50 states in job creation during Walker's first year. These figures were based on a sample of 3.5% of the state's employers and are subject to significant revisions.

The other numbers, from the Quarterly Census, tell a more positive story, one the Walker administration is in a hurry to get out. They are based on a jobs count, not a survey. Each state gathers the quarterly census data from virtually all employers in both the public and private sectors, which are mandated to share staff and wage data as part of their tax and unemployment insurance reports. That makes it a more reliable source of employment data, state officials and many economists say.

The unemployment rate has gone from 7.7 to 6.8% since Walker took office.

In other news the DNC has pulled out of buying ad time for the recall.

More states should copy Walker's policies.

It's a shame you'd rather people be out of work than see Walker's policies succeed Robert. Just goes to show with you the welfare of the American people takes a back seat to your ideology.

You used the word "destroy" in the other thread about Walker's recall, as in "Walker will 'destroy' Wisconsin."

It does with all liberals. Look at the ghettos and that stupid "War on Poverty".

...but hey, it makes them "feel" good to spend our money to help all those po people stay po.

Walker has a terrible jobs record.

That data behind that graph doesn't support the conclusion you make from it.

I assume you believe that a survey of 3.5% of employers in a state is better than the QCEW?

Wisconsin Unemployment Rates:

March 2011 ----- 7.6%

March 2012 ----- 6.8%

Yeah, some terrible jobs record.

THat is because a lot of people are dropping out of the job market. THat is what you guys claim for the national unemployment so why should this be any different?

His approval rating is 59%. Go ahead and get your razor blade ready, Robert. Just remember, it's down the road, not across the tracks.

Because it applies to the national figure, not this one.

Robert you're not smart enough to participate in this discussion.

I see. People dropping out of the job market only counts when YOU want it to count.

Looks like Wisconsin's population is getting older and more were getting to the retirement age. Just sayin'. It was even on a Fox channel!

No Robert. It applies when it's happening at a rate to influence the number.

Read the original article and attempt to comprehend what it's saying.

Says the guy who doesn't know the difference between weather and climate.

Walker's patriotic policies have helped create and save more net jobs than our Dear Leaders policies have.

I thought the government didnt create jobs.
