Wisconsin Job Growth Data Paint Bleak Picture of Scott Walker Years — 2011-2019

Defeated Gov Scott Walker (R) has not apologized
for Wisconsin's slow job growth during his tenure.

Madison, Wisconsin — Wisconsin lags far behind its neighbor and the rest of the country in recovering from the 2008-09 great recession, shows a graph authored by pollster Charles Franklin.

Slowed job growth during the Gov Scott Walker years (2011-2019) is striking when compared with Minnesota and the United States at large following enactment of controversial policies touted by Walker repeatedly as "bold reforms," the jobs data show.

Franklin used data from the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis, Total Gross Domestic Product for Wisconsin [WINGSP], retrieved from Federal Reserve Economic Database (FRED), Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

The slow job growth during the Walker years will not come as a surprise for Wisconsinites who voted out Scott Walker as Gov Jobs Failure and ScottHoles became associated with his tenure.

Franklin first published his jobs growth data graph, below, on Dec. 30, 2018.

Several have asked for this comparison of job growth in Wisconsin, Minnesota and nationally. Jobs scaled to 1990-1-1 employment=100.
