GET ME REWRITE: Microsoft plans to create 1.5% of the jobs that Foxconn promised Scott Walker

 

Headline:  The Verge, 12/22/2023

The Milwaukee Business Journal reported that Microsoft plans to initially hire 200 employees at its Mount Pleasant data center — and could add over 460 jobs over time. But it’ll still be a fraction of the 13,000 jobs that Foxconn originally promised the area back in 2017.
