But Wisconsin also was one of 18 states to post a statistically significant decrease in its unemployment rate compared to March 2011, the report noted. Wisconsin's rate fell from 7.6 percent to 6.8 percent during that time period, a difference of 0.8 percentage points. Alabama and Michigan had the nation's biggest jobless drops from March 2011, both falling about 2 percentage points, the report said.

seems Walker is doing good after all.

There's a reason smart people look at the jobs gained/loss number instead of the headline UE number.

do you have an idea of what will happen to this state in a few years if they trash their teachers, nurses, firemen and police and cut their pay?

considering that has not happened as is not being planned, it's a dumb question.

dear fucking idiot.

those are union jobs

As usual, you fail to comprehend a salient point. Walker has not destroyed the unions or done away with union jobs. He has simply required that union members contribute to their own fuckin' retirement plan the way non-union members do rather than have the government (the tax payers) contribute threw the nose for huge union pensions. They still don't have to contribute as much percentage-wise as non-union people do, but they contribute more than they did in the past.

Has anyone ever explained to you that with a bit of proper schooling in logic and reason you might someday be accepted as an idiot?

What does that say about Obama then?
Or the US unemployement numbers?

We've had positive job growth for months, and months, and months.

All this fuss for having to contribure a measly 3% to their health care and 8% to their retirement.
