Thursday, Gov. Scott Walker delivered the weekly radio address titled Job Gains Continue.
Hi, this is Scott Walker.
This week the federal government verified the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages for the first quarter of 2012. It showed Wisconsin created more than 37,000 private sector jobs from March 2011 to March 2012, including a gain of 12,138 jobs in the manufacturing sector.
Wisconsin’s continued private sector job growth is good news. I am particularly pleased with the gains in the manufacturing sector, which makes up a huge portion of our state’s economy.
The quarterly job count data shows, yet again, the monthly job estimates are not accurate. I am hopeful that the state Department of Workforce Development will be able to work with the federal government to bring the monthly estimates back in line with the actual job numbers.
The fiscal reforms we put in place coupled with reforms like reducing frivolous lawsuits and bringing certainty and accountability to state regulations, have established a strong foundation for job growth.
Moving forward, we will continue to find ways to make it easier for the people of our state to put Wisconsinites back to work.
Richard, you've copied-and-pasted this same post elsewhere on patch, why? There are several questions based on your post, primarily why you believe this data is relevant to Scott Walker's taking credit for an abysmal job creation record (based on his own campaign promise). If you have a better link to the research please present it as the data tables do not open and I'm not a SciVerse subscriber. The connectivity studies I have read relate to memory retention primarily, so this is potentially interesting. Thanks, Nuitari, always a pleasure. ; )
Hoffa admits - that was a good one ;-)
Obama/ Biden is the disease...Romney / Ryan are the cure.
And yes, you are incorrect with all the ALEC bashing.
Government isn't supposed to be in business!! Government creates and administers a fair playing filed for all and provides the infrastructure, via taxation, to make it all possible. Governor Walker miscalculated and didn't go far enough. The public sector needs to be union-free, taxes dropped 50% or more, retirement age pushed to 65, pay and benefits slashed, and cronyism ended.
This is only the second time I posted it - NOT several. Hoffa's post is perfect for you! HATER! (oooh, correction) LIBERAL HATER!
Richard, I confirm that this was a simple re-hash of your initial post, I recalled it several times because I revisited that thread more than once, apologies. However, in attempting to re-direct your post now at me you have made several fundamentally incorrect assumptions. Based simply on the material you presented, I agree with Mr. Ruble about the isolation of the test results. I'd also like to analyze the tables of data that I can't access through your link, please share. And actually, I'm a moderate independent. These days, guys like Dick Nixon, who started the EPA, and Ronald Reagan, who raised some taxes, look more blue than red. Interesting.
As it was, the entire mine leadership team was from out of state. From what I was able to learn, the so-called permanent jobs were the dangerous ones, and there was no guarantee that all of those jobs would go to Wisconsin workers who probably didn't have that type of experience.
Implying that at 37,000 jobs per year it would take 50 to 60 years to create 250,000. But simply math (250,000 jobs divided by 37,000 jobs/year) brings your wild estimate to 6 years and 9 months. Of course, that doesn't factor in the improved business environment Governor Walker and the Republican's are creating. Sure beats the bad old days when Diamond Jim Doyle was running businesses out of the state by raising taxes and buying choo-choo trains.
These lost jobs are because far left libs like yourself are clueless and hypocrites. The loss of this mine was political, not environmental.
Is it any wonder that people want to hear how he was successful?
You may be surprised at how much Steve® knows about drilling holes.
