Letter: Which job policies work better? by Kay Hoff

Editor:

Which budget and policies are better for creating private sector jobs? Wisconsin’s Department of Workforce and Development’s report for private sector job creation in 2011 painted a clear picture for me when I saw the brightly colored chart in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about a month ago.

For the first 6 months or from January-June 2011, the state and Walker administration continued to operate under the Doyle budget and policies. During those 6 months, private sector jobs increased every month except April 2011 (500 lost) for a 6 month net GAIN of 12,000 private sector jobs.

For the remainder of the year or July-December of 2011, Wisconsin operated under the newly passed Walker Budget Reform & Policies. During those 6 months, the private sector job chart was mirror opposite. The vividly colored bars now illustrated private sector job losses every month except September ( 300 added ) for a 6 month net LOSS of 22,000 private sector jobs . The 2011 year summary bar graph recorded a private sector jobs net LOSS of 10,000 jobs.

It’s clear to me that the average Wisconsin worker will be better served with the leadership of Tom Barrett and Mahlon Mitchell.
