Pay To Wisconsin 'Job-Creators' Skyrockets; Performance Pay Aided By Layoffs, Other Factors

CEO's are going just great in Wisconsin, this report indicates, while average worker pay slipped and some firms CEO's got performance-based raises because slashed payrolls made the companies more profitable.

As with the state employee anger aimed at Scott Walker, I'd bet that discontent among private-sector workforces in recall elections this year, next year and regularly-scheduled contests in 2012 will coalesce against Republican elected officials who do the bidding for the companies and the CEO's whoare being further rewarded with tax breaks and control of two major state agencies - - the Departments of Natural Resource and Commerce.
