PLEASE educate yourself, the state of Wisconsin is doing better now that Walker's plans have gone through and even if labor unions are able to collect the number if signatures needed you're just going to waste your money trying to recall him... which I full support.
If you actually read what is in the link you posted and used as your argument, you would find that those 33,000 jobs lost in Georgia were for the entire past year (Oct. 2010 to Oct. 2011), not the month of October 2011.

What do you think the Wisconsin numbers found in this article represent? The SAME time period.

I did read it, I'm just going by the same criteria that the story in the OP used. I know you guys will lie and cheat about anything you need to in order to make Walker look bad because he's made you all look like fools but at least try being honest from time to time.

Walker's plans are working and that really upsets the labor unions who are now actually feeling the affects of the economy they helped destroy.

Seriously, read the link you use as an argument. You will be surprised and educated at the same time.

Here is a little help to make it easy for you. I will post an entire paragraph from your link which clearly shows that WI lost the most jobs in the US for the month of Oct. 2011.

Quote:
In October, nonfarm payroll employment increased in 39 states and the District of
Columbia, and decreased in 11 states. The largest over-the-month increases in
employment occurred in Illinois (+30,000) and California (+25,700). The largest
over-the-month decrease in employment occurred in Wisconsin (-9,700),
followed by
New York (-8,300) and Minnesota (-6,100).

Apology accepted.

And a little extra from your link just for your trouble:
Quote:
Wisconsin experienced the largest
over-the-month percentage decline in employment (-0.4 percent),

Wow. I'm amazed that the Walker-defenders can't even accept the official numbers. The right-wing universe these days is in a perpetual state of altered reality.

That's funny I didn't apologize to anyone. You're cherry picking numbers that you want to use in order to make Walker look bad. You can continue to do whatever you like, just don't lie. Wisconsin is not the No. 1 job loser in the US.

I didn't cherry pick anything. I used the data and statistics from the link you supplied. I made no inferences. I merely copied and pasted from your link. LOL!

And the link I posted clearly shows that Wisconsin is not the No 1 job loser in the country. Continue to cherry pick numbers however you like.

Wisconsin is the No 1 job loser in the country for October, 2011. Didn't need to "cherry pick" those numbers, you picked those cherries for me with your link.
