January 2010 was also the final year of Jim Doyle's second term as Wisconsin Governor. It was the state's peak month of high unemployment as a result of the Great Recession. By the time Walker was sworn into office, the unemployment rate had fallen 1.2 percentage points, so it's not as though he had to turn anything around.
