Again, maybe before Walker ruined it. Walker was supposed to add 250,000 jobs during his first term, remember? Instead, WI is now losing jobs. BTW, your math is fuzzy.
Not good compared to the rest of our country and the unemployment rate is on the rise in WI.
Actually the average for the rest of the nation is 5.4%..
All you keep doing is pumping up a thread posting lies, and when one takes apart your lies, you actually show Walker is doing a far better job than those 'college degreed' individuals...
Are you sure you want to keep pumping the thread thus disproving your point?
Then for the life of me, with all that added income tax revenue coming in, understand why WI currently has a 2.2 billion dollar budget deficit! Too bad Walker didn't have a college course in economics.
What’s really concerning is that Walker generated this $2.2 billion deficit during a period of economic growth.
If you want wages to go up, you lower the unemployment rate and let the economy dictate the need to increase salaries..
Democratic solutions of increasing unemployment through welfare etc, lowers the demand to pay acceptable wages..
Democratics policies fail every single time.
If the unemployment rate went down in WI, why then didn't wages go up?

Real wages for welders in Wisconsin have declined since 2000, contrary to the law of supply-and-demand. Meanwhile, in states such as Wyoming, North Dakota and Alaska, the demand for welders has resulted in real wages increasing by more than 20 percent.
Levine’s recent study released in October doesn’t give us much hope that Wisconsin’s transformation into a low-wage economy is going to change anytime soon. The study says of the 15 occupations projected by the Department of Workforce Development to grow the most between 2010 and 2020, all pay wages lower than $12.50 and hour and six are under $10.

the inflation-adjusted median hourly wage fell by 6.5 percent between 2010 and 2013.
Since 2010, when Governor Walker took office, all of the net job growth in Wisconsin has been in the low-wage category, some from newly-created low-wage jobs, but mostly from middle-wage occupations dropping into the low-wage tier as their pay fell in inflation-adjusted terms.
