Scott Walker's "Foxconned in Wisconsin": The jobs engine that wasn't

 
Headline Biz Times, 12/8/2023
A verification form submitted to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp. shows that the electronics manufacturer invested $26.6 million in its Wisconsin facilities last year and employed 1,029 people. Out of those 1,029 positions, 261 were newly created jobs. 
Out of the newly approved $6.3 million in tax credits, $4.1 million was earned from Foxconn’s total job creation and $2.2 million was earned from the company’s total capital expenditures in 2022. 
Foxconn has been awarded $43.7 million dollars in tax credits from the state since the company began receiving the credits at the end of 2020. Last year, the manufacturer earned $8.5 million worth of state tax credits.
