AFP: WI lost 13,000 jobs last month

Filed under: Economy — randallmelchert @ 4:50 pm

Americans for Prosperity reports that “Even though Wisconsin was one of the few states that reported a statistically significant drop in unemployment in April, Wisconsin still lost 13,600 jobs last month due to disgruntled workers leaving the job market or retiring early.

Mark Block says “If lawmakers in Madison don’t see soon that their current policies hurt small businesses and Wisconsin families, we will create an environment within this state that drives business away. This will lead to less tax collections from state government, and ultimately budget deficits. In order to collect the same amount of tax revenue, lawmakers will have to increase the same taxes that drove businesses out in the first place. It’s a vicious cycle that needs to be ended now before it’s too late.”

Randy Melchert believes that by Keeping Madison Accountable with spending cuts and tax cuts, we can have profitable companies, plentiful jobs, prosperous workers, and proud families.
