I Suppose This Isn't on Scott Walker's Radar Either: Wisconsin Ranks 35th in Private-Sector Job Creation

Wisconsin adds 28,351 private-sector jobs over 12 months. (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 3/19/2014)

DWD has already put a Pollyanna spin on this.   According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Wisconsin gained 28,351 private-sector jobs in the 12 months from September 2012 through September 2013 — a 1.2% increase that ranked the state 35th among the 50 states in the pace of job creation during that period.

According to this Capital Times bar graph, Wisconsin ranks 32nd since Scott Walker took office as Governor.
