The above numbers represent the actual number of those employed in WI month by month (jobs). These numbers are also supplied directly from the U.S. Bureau of Labor not dailykos, huffipoo etc.

September's number is larger than August. Then October more jobs, November even more, December more and unbelievably January even larger for 5 straight months of job growth. See when the number comes back larger it means jobs gained not lost (again despite the slashing of thousands of needless, redundant, economy sucking public sector jobs and their over inflated benefits that come with them) thus indicating the private sector is alive and well in Wisconsin. So well in fact the President visited MasterLock, in Milwaukee in an attempt to take credit for bringing back jobs from China despite having absolutely nothing to do with it.

Math must have been one of your tougher subjects in school.

Probably why Wisconsin is under 7% unemployment rate while KY is struggling at 9%. (Have some veggies with your fruit)
