Under Walker, WI loses jobs, country grows faster

We have written the same sad story give or take a tenth of a point or several hundred jobs here or there in just about every reporting period since Scott Walker's 250,000-new-private-sector-jobs promise remains stuck its six year failing stall, but, for the record:

Wisconsin lost 5,200 private-sector jobs from October to November, preliminary estimates show...

When Gov. Scott Walker began his term in January 2011, he vowed to create 250,000 new private-sector jobs before the end of his first term. Since that time, private-sector jobs have increased by 194,100, representing a 8.2 percent increase. Nationally, private-sector jobs have increased by 12.2 percent since January 2011.

Despite what you read on his Twitter feed - - Wisconsin's employment growth rate is 50% slower than the national gain - - and nearly all the growth is in low-end jobs because Walker has frozen the minimum wage at $7.25 per hour.
