In slow-growth WI, Walker points finger at the jobless
We've tracked Walker's penchant for finger-pointing - - last year or in 2013, too, for example.
And while he's blamed everything and everyone from the fiscal cliff to recall protesters to Libyan rebels for slow job growth in Wisconsin, laying it at the feet of would-be workers themselves takes the cake:

Gov. Scott Walker says Wisconsin continues to rank relatively low in job creation because not enough people are ready to join the workforce.
New data from the U.S Labor Department shows Wisconsin ranked 37th among states in adding private jobs during the 12 months ending last June...Wisconsin is 32nd over the last five years...
Walker told a business group in Milwaukee Friday that the state wants to help get more unemployed people off drugs and into jobs.

This clown has had 5 years to train people for all the well paying supposed jobs out there. If those jobs were there and people didn't have the skills either the companies needing employees would have set up training programs within their industrial operations or they would have sought out tech school support to get the employees they need. If as Walker contends there are thousands of well paying jobs there would be an influx of skilled people from out of state grabbing these jobs in a heartbeat. Instead Wisconsin is experiencing outmigration of people from the state. Walker uses his corporate donors to say they have all kinds on unfilled positions and that the state website has 100,000 jobs. Most of those jobs are of the WalMart variety that don't require a lot of training. WAGES WOULD BE ON THE WAY UP IF COMPANIES COULD NOT FIND SKILLED EMPLOYEES.......we know this is not occurring in Wisconsin. In Walker's world everyone is drugged up.....that is simply not the case in Wisconsin.
Hole in his theory is that drugs cost money and a habit puts the addicted into a terrible dilemma. Working to maintain the habit? Is that our goal now?
Interesting, a governor who has cut and destroyed the public schools, demonized teachers and cut their pay and benefits to the level of plain high school graduates. And now there is a severe shortage of technical instructors in the high schools literally overnight, with no money to support these feeder programs let alone the schools, unless they are private/for profit? Talk about biting the hand that feeds you. Walker should go look in the mirror to see the real skills shortage in WI, leadership. I guess we are expecting a little much from a dropout. WI gets what they deserve for being fooled not just once, not twice, but three times. You are beyond fool by the third round.
Walker's policies and legislation are the reasons many people do not have jobs. It's his fault they are sitting at home consuming all those drugs they can't afford (sarcasm). How can he be concerned about putting people to work when Act 10 caused so many to lose their jobs in the first place. If he had been more concerned about putting people to work over tax breaks for the rich and corporations, Wisconsin would not have a shortage of so-called skilled workers for all of those low wage jobs that are supposedly available. If he would have left the tech schools budgets and programs alone, those unskilled people would be skilled and working now, but cuts, cuts, cuts was all he could think of. Those cuts have put us where we are now. All Walker has to do is look in the mirror for the answer to why people do not have jobs. His slash and burn policies are also the reason businesses are both coming to Wisconsin and leaving Wisconsin. The gains are barely staying ahead of the losses. Lastly, when people's pay gets cut, they have less to spend. When they spend less, companies have to lay people off or close down when sales do not even cover production costs. It's all simple economics which Walker never learned. Two and a half years of college a total waste.
4.2% Nov unemployment,not since 2001 have we seen this (better number that the best Doyle could do in 8 years) over 80,000 jobs listed on Wis Workforce Development web site, nuff said.
