At least now you're being a little more factual. The OP is still false, at the time that this thread was started WI was not the No 1 job loser.

Actually, yes WI was the No. 1 job loser at the time this thread was started.

Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary
My point is that you are still wrong, when this thread was started WI was not the No. 1 job loser.

What does the date of the link have to do with anything? The OP is still false based on the dates and the data which we all agree is correct.

To rehash what I originally posted on page one and from the very same source the numbers you are quoting are coming from:


Table 3. Civilian labor force and unemployment by state and selected area, seasonally adjusted

Unemployment rates:

Wisconsin.
Oct. 2010 7.7
Aug. 2011 7.9
Sept. 2011 7.8
Oct. 2011 7.7

Illionois
Oct. 2010 9.6
Aug. 2011 9.9
Sept. 2011 10.0
Oct. 2011 10.1

I explained earlier in the thread the numerous basic statistical errors in this *analysis* (and by analysis I mean chimpanzees with crayons).

This is almost like a birther thread in the level of obtuse denial of reality.

We've pointed this out how many times and the concept escapes them via blind partisanship. At some point we just have to shrug and move on hoping they get the help they need.
