Half of Last Month's New Jobs Came From Wisconsin

Remember that Wisconsin governor that the lefty unions hate and want recalled from office? I wonder how his state is doing under his oppressive and job-killing leadership?

[Madison, Wisc…] Earlier this month, analysts were dismayed by the nation’s anemic job creation numbers. On Thursday, state officials were pleased as they released data that showed more than half of the net new jobs added in the US in June came from Wisconsin.
“We have made difficult decisions in our state, but they are beginning to payoff,” said Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker (R). “The national job figures remind us that we can not rest after one month of good news; while there will be ups and downs along the way, we must help lead the nation to recovery.”

Using seasonally adjusted data, the 12,900 private-sector jobs created in June marks the largest one-month gain in Wisconsin since September 2003. The state’s net new job gain for June is 9,500 jobs, more than half of the nation’s net gain of 18,000 jobs for the same month.

Oh. Never mind.

Memo to those State Senate districts with recall elections still to come: Elect Republicans. It's working for Wisconsin.
