It’s no jobs and all scandals in Walker’s Wisconsin.
When Governor Walker ran for office in 2010, he promised to create 250,000 jobs for Wisconsin workers. In the beginning, he boasted of this claim, stating it was the “jobs floor, not the ceiling.” Then, as his policies did more to advance partisan politics and less to create jobs, Walker changed his tune stating that the 250,000 jobs mark was more of a goal than a promise.
Well, Gov. Walker, the people of Wisconsin deserve better than failed promises. Wisconsin is ready for a Governor who prioritizes creating good jobs in-state.
The latest job numbers are in:
• Wisconsin is dead last in the Midwest for job growth.
• Wisconsin ranked 37th in the nation in job creation last year.
• Wisconsin created just 28,000 jobs last year, a three year record low.
• Wisconsin lost 400 private-sector jobs in May alone.
We’re falling further behind under Gov. Walker. The data is clear – Scott Walker doesn’t create jobs, he pushes a partisan agenda for his own personal political gain.
You know what doesn’t create jobs? Rejecting high-speed rail projects, failing to expand Medicaid for the poor, focusing on voter disenfranchisement laws instead of job growth policies, taking money out of local economies with austerity policies such as Act 10, tax cuts for the rich and a lack of accountability and transparency in the WEDC, the jobs agency created by Gov. Walker that has been plagued by scandals.
Wisconsin is ready to invest in education, sound infrastructure and good wages so that we can grow our economy from the middle-out. When people have money in their pocket to spend, good jobs are created locally in a virtuous cycle of growth.
Wisconsin is ready for jobs. Wisconsin is ready for a new Governor.
