One thing that will always be consistent is the trickle down effect. Cut bargaining rights to hurt middle class families (the real spenders), give corporations a bigger tax break, and then no jobs added but more profits to a select few. Mags where are all the jobs u promised from this Koch brothers puppet?

MADISON, Wis.

Wisconsin lost 11,700 private sector jobs in November, according to data released Thursday that indicates a fifth straight month of decline and another worrisome development for Gov. Scott Walker as he faces the possibility of a recall election next year.

Walker ran on the promise that by the end of his four-year term the state would have 250,000 more jobs than when he took office. Based on the latest figures released by the state Department of Workforce Development, only 16,300 private sector jobs have been created since January.

Department officials, however, stress that the job loss numbers for November are preliminary and subject to change. The federal government revised job numbers for eight of the first 10 months of the year, and in October alone job losses were improved from the preliminary 9,700 drop to 2,400.

"The preliminary estimates are what they are, they are preliminary estimates," said department Secretary Reggie Newson. "The revised numbers, when they come out, are a more accurate indicator of what the landscape is."

Even so, Assembly Democratic Minority Leader Peter Barca blamed November's reported job losses on Walker's conservative agenda, which included effectively ending collective bargaining rights for public workers.

"Tens of thousands of Wisconsin families are already struggling because of the extreme Walker agenda, and today's announcement shows that many more will suffer heading into the holidays," Barca said. "Among many other reasons, this is why our citizens believe they have no choice but to recall the governor."

Walker's spokesman Cullen Werwie had a different take.

"The numbers today reinforce what Gov. Walker has been saying along, that we need to aggressively work to continue to improve Wisconsin's job creation climate," Werwie said. :nono: :facepalm: :jerkit:

The latest jobs report shows that 14,600 jobs, including 11,700 in the private sector, were lost last month. At the same time, the unemployment rate dropped from 7.7 percent to 7.3 percent. The jobs number and unemployment figure are derived from different surveys.

Unemployment most likely dropped from people's claims ending.

Wisconsin's "open for business" but "closed for the middle-class" under Walker.
