Wisconsin saw the largest percentage decrease in employment in the nation during the 12 months ending in March, a new report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics said.

During that time period, while 27 states and the District of Columbia saw significant job increases, only Wisconsin saw "statistically significant" job losses, the report said.

From March 2011 to March 2012, the state lost 23,900 jobs, for the country's largest percentage decrease, at 0.9 percent.

Of the 23,900 jobs lost in Wisconsin in that period, 17,900 were from the public sector and 6,000 were from the private sector, according to the BLS. (Note: Jobs and unemployment rate data in the BLS report for all the states and D.C. refers to non-farm employment.)

On the plus side, a lot of union cash was wasted on it...

Huhwha?

Wisconsin has pulled back from the brink of fiscal insolvency after Governor Scott Walker’s collective bargaining and budget reforms, despite doomsday warnings of fiscal disaster.

Neighboring Illinois, whose Democratic governor opted for tax hikes, has not fared as well.

Wisconsin voters appear happy with Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Wisconsin’s economic resurgence. Gov. Walker got 626,538 votes in his May 8 uncontested recall primary, more than the two main Democratic candidates combined.

That total is also more than all the GOP candidates combined in the contested 2010 GOP primary, as well as the highest voter turnout for a gubernatorial primary in 60 years.

Unemployment has dropped from 7.7 percent to 6.8 percent since Walker took office. Unemployment in neighboring Illinois, however, only dropped below 9 percent in March—the first time it has done so in two years.

Wisconsin property taxes have fallen for the first time in 12 years. The state’s adult debt per capita is roughly $687. Illinois’ is about $853.

...

“Democrats are out there beating Walker up, saying the state has lost jobs,” Schneider said. “But Democrats just voted against a mine in northern Wisconsin that would have created jobs. They’re rooting for things to be as bad as possible.”

Meanwhile, Wisconsin managed to eliminate its deficit while not decimating public schools, contrary to the predictions of many opposing Walker.

“You’ve gotten some positive results, but more importantly, the sky didn’t fall,” American Enterprise Institute scholar Andrew Biggs said in an interview with the Free Beacon. “The schools opened, the teachers didn’t get laid off, the kids kept learning.”

The Wisconsin State Journal recently surveyed Dane County’s 16 main school districts on preliminary non-renewal notices and found that only two full-time and seven part-time employees had been laid off.

School districts have saved $211 per student from competitive bidding, according to Schneider, adding up to nearly $200 million in savings statewide.

“The only schools that are losing jobs are those that chose not to implement the changes,” Schneider said.

Walker And Barrett Fight Over Latest Report Of Job Losses | TPM2012


The new figures were released a day later, showing job losses, but also a slight drop in the unemployment rate from 6.8 percent to 6.7 percent. In addition, the March estimates were revised upward, from a loss of 4,500 jobs in the preliminary figures to a gain of 2,800 jobs in the revision.

At issue is a matter of two different sets of measurements: the Current Employment Survey, and the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, both of which are subject to different processes of revision and review. The Walker administration has released its Quarterly Census data more than a month early, before the final verification of the national report — and, critics note, three weeks before the recall election on June 5.

Economists tend to see value in both systems, with each having their respective advantages. At the same time, experts told TPM, both sets of numbers would still indicate that Wisconsin is not experiencing job growth at any rapid pace.

RealClearPolitics - Walker Leads Barrett in Wisconsin Recall Poll

With his recall election just three weeks away, Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker leads Democratic Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett by six points among likely voters, according to a new Marquette Law School poll.

Apparently so, especially if it suits their personal political agenda ...

* as dishonest as Walker seems, he did beat Barrett in a fair election already - it would have been better for Faulk to be the candidate and lose than for Barrett to take advantage of the Recall after already having lost fair and square - maybe, unless he wins ...
