New data show Walker's continuing Wisconsin jobs' fail

Turns out that Walker tweets and photo ops do not make Wisconsin an engine of growth.
 Mar 29MoreWisconsin is working like never before! Let’s keep it up! #WIForward 
The latest Federal employment figures show Wisconsin to be a regional laggard which actually lost 300 private sector jobs in February, added only a paltry 18,600 private sector jobs in the year from February, 2017 to February, 2018, and is still 20,000 private sector jobs below the 250,000 Walker repeatedly promised in his 2010 and 2012 gubernatorial campaigns to create by January,  2015, the Capital Times reports.

With a shamefully restrictive $7.25-per-hour minimum wage Walker enforces as 'livable,' and his promotion of hard-edged and ideologically-driven anti-education, pro-gun, anti-teacher, and pollution-enabling policies which many millennials and mobile young families find repellent, Wisconsin is going to remain an unattractive, minimal-growth place to open a business or put down roots until Walker and the right-wing regime he is directing is removed from power.
