The Walker Budget Keeps On Working! Part CXIV

The good news for Wisconsin is that when the jobs numbers came out last week, we gained 900 private sector jobs.  That's only the third time since Walker's budget kicked in that we didn't lose jobs.

The bad news is we also gained over 1,200 newly unemployed people:
The number of first-time claims for unemployment benefits in the state rose last week to 10,997, up from 9,733 in the prior week, according to the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development.
Kind of ironic, considering that just a day or two after these numbers came out, Walker went on national radio to say how he's getting people off of the government dole, when he's really adding them.

I just wonder where the press was on this, since they didn't bother to fact check it even once.

    It's a good thing we have voter ID, when the migrant workers get here, they might attempt to vote.

    Unless Wisconsin labor is cheaper?
