Just stop. Replace Walker or whatever....I really don't care....just stop trying to use statistics and analysis. Watching the attempts is like watching a pack of chimpanzees being handed loaded guns.
Poor analogy Mr. Mathguy. WI lost jobs! In fact, WI led the nation in lost jobs! That would be like trying to cook the turkey in a freezer!

Yet still below the national average huh?


Wisconsin’s unemployment rate in October 7.7 percent, down slightly from 7.8 percent in September, but up from 7.4 percent in January.

Walker took office in January. If the unemployment rate continues to climb at the rate it has been since Walker took office, it will be well above the national average by next year.

This needs to be reposted since some people are trying to lie AGAIN like the OP was.

Wisconsin didn't come anywhere near close to being No. 1 in job loss.

No it is not a lie. Just because you don't like to hear the truth, does not make it a lie.

The only state with an over-the-month statistically significant decline in employment was Wisconsin (-9,700).

The report also indicates that Wisconsin led the nation in the raw number of jobs lost in October:

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).

I posted the link already.

Regional and State Employment and Unemployment Summary

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.
