Can I put you on record as believing that Walker is wasting our money on the tax paid payroll by wasting time writing a self serving book while WI is circling the drain?
Too bad how Wisconsin doesn't have much to offer the energy industry. Oklahoma passing right to work in 2001 did little to help the state bring in new paying jobs, especially good paying ones. If it wasn't for the energy industry doing well, the Oklahoma economy would be probably be stagnant now at best.
How does a Gallup poll measure state rankings in job creation?

Look, that is a poll. Not very accurate to say the least. Believing stuff like this http://www.gallup.com/poll/125066/State-States.aspx as factual is what hoodwinked the GOP during the last election. We have much better ways of measuring these things now.
Quote:
The data, released Thursday by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, is called the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages. It's based on a census of 96% of all American non-farm employers, public and private, which makes it the most exhaustive and credible information available on job creation. Because it is so complete, the quarterly data always comes with a half-year time lag.

I understand you are desperate to find any kind of information to support another teapublican but facts are facts.
