Remember back in February, at the height of the controversy surrounding public employee unions in Wisconsin, the idea was trotted out that Governor Scott Walkers anti-union efforts were part and parcel of a broader, bolder economic vision that would lead to growth and prosperity in the Badger State? Now one year on and with a recall election looming for Walker ironically it may be his record on job creation that does Walker more harm than his anti-union sentiments. Why, because since he took office and enacted his program Wisconsin has lost more jobs than any other state, according to Craig Gilbert of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. What follows is an analysis of Scott Walkers economic performance. The figures below are all seasonally adjusted, all charts, graphs and statistics courtesy of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel:
Total Jobs. In Gov. Walkers first 13 months (using December 2010 as the baseline), the state lost 8,500 non-farm jobs. That was worst among the 50 states. Only four other states experienced a net decrease in that time. If you take the most recent 12 months January 2011 to January 2012 the state lost 12,500 non-farm jobs, also worst in the nation, a fact Democrats have seized on.
