In Economic Survey, Walker's Wisconsin Near The Bottom, Again
Wisconsin is not open for employment and business growth; data keep rolling in to prove Wisconsin is bringing up the rear.
For example, here is another #44 state ranking for Wisconsin - - this time for small business performance based on 33 metrics across a broad array of state policies, says a US Chamber of Commerce annual report (see state summary, p. 81).
A few weeks ago, Wisconsin ranked #44 in private sector job creation, federal data disclosed.
And if you think that's the bottom of the bottom line, look more closely at some of Wisconsin rankings in some key job and business categories also found in the US Chamber of Commerce report:
And the political bottom line:
Walker is nearly 2.5 years into a four-year term marked by continuing job creation failure, a troubled new jobs-creating agency beset by internal, fiscal and legal problems and zero chance of meeting his campaign-inspired 250,000 new jobs/10,000 new businesses pledge.
Is "We're Number 44, Or Worse" a re-election slogan, let alone a presidential platform?

Long-term Job Growth - - 45
Business Birth Rate - - 47
Short-term Job Growth - - 50Maybe these rankings and the state's economic recovery would be more promising had Walker and Legislature not wasted countless hours on conservative social policy initiatives, attacks on public employees, pushing voter ID, enacting concealed firearm carry, scheming for self-preservationist redistricting and the like.

If he would hire back everyone he got rid of we would jump back to #11
