Wisconsin taxpayers carry the burden for job creators



Foxconn package cost Wisconsin eight times as much per job as similar 2017 state jobs deals.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 2/5/2018)
To get a fair comparison with Foxconn, the newspaper purposefully looked only at the more expensive 2017 deals in which the state offered tax credits for jobs created. That's because it tends to cost more in tax credits to spur a company to create a new job rather than to retain an existing one. 
Even then, the Foxconn Technology Group deal stands out.

In the batter's box.
