well then don't let this out (to the adjoining States)

Gov. Scott Walker has called a news conference to discuss Wisconsin's job-growth numbers, minutes after the state's latest unemployment report is due for release.

Unemployment numbers are usually released without fanfare. The fact that Walker is holding a news conference Thursday might suggest a favorable report this month.

Wisconsin's unemployment rate has hovered around 7.4 percent for the first five months of the year. That's typically been about 1.5 percentage points better than the national average.

The state's jobless rate has improved from last year, when unemployment ranged from 7.5 percent to 9.2 percent.

Walker's news conference comes on the same day that the U.S. Labor Department released disappointing news about the economy. Applications for unemployment benefits were up last week, evidence of rising layoffs and a weak job market.

Again, the Pres could learn from spending some time here. Only he'd have to shut up, look and listen, like a hunter or fisherman. No wonder WI is ahead of the curve.
