Wisconsin cities with highest unemployment rates could use some of that Chicago millennials Foxconn love that Scott Walker is dishing out


Unemployment statistics found at Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development

How Wisconsin can help its own unemployed workers get jobs at Foxconn.  (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 1/26/2018)
Shouldn’t the money Wisconsin citizens pay in taxes be used to help Wisconsin residents get jobs rather than to lure workers from other states?  
That’s a question I found myself asking after reading that the Walker administration wants to spend $6.8 million to lure people from Minneapolis, Detroit and Chicago to work at the new multi-billion-dollar Foxconn complex and other jobs. 
What if we found ways to help Foxconn hire the unemployed and underemployed from Racine and Milwaukee?

Based on the people seen in photos posted at Scott Walker's Twitter feed, none of these percentages are within his comfort zone.
