Huh. I thought cutting taxes, forcing public employees to take a paycut and laying them off was supposed to ADD jobs. It's almost as if letting a couple of self-serving billionaires put a college drop-out & career political hack in the governor's office of your state is bad for business.

This part is funny:

I think it's common to get your employer to lay you off and file for unemployment insurance when deer season starts, no?

And the DOL has WI Unemployment @ 6.3% as of Nov, 2013. It was 7.0 in Jan, 2013. The numbers you question are good. Here's another source:

Unemployment at 6.3..20th out of 50. Down from 9% in 2009. 100,000 fewer unemployed since then.....and your point is?
