They say it like its a bad thing. Losing public sector workers is to be applauded. The fewer leeches on the private sector the better.
On Wisconsin!

They left out the punch line: 42% of the job losses were from the three counties (representing 13% pop.) that DIDN’T make use of ACT 10 provisions.

The public-sector job losses (17,800) were far larger than the private-sector job losses (6,100). Now THAT'S the way to do it!!

We’re putting the brakes on unsustainable perks and benefits for our overlords in the public sector. The private sector is hiring again and the economic outlook is getting better for the Badger State!

The AFL-CIO wants to punish success by fudging the numbers in Wisconsin.

If this is the result of sanity, I’d guess that we are in for a very bad time... Unions and their power are the future of politics here and unfortunately elsewhere. Hang on folks, we are in for a very bad timer!

According to that BLS report linked, Wisconsin's unemployment is at 6.8%, compared to 8.2% overall. This proves their point how?
I guess the AFL-CIO didn't actually expect anyone to look at the link.

17,800 fewer government employees. Sounds like victory for the common man.

"public-sector job losses (17,800) were far larger than the private-sector job losses (6,100)."HALLELUJAH!
Should have cut twice that many of the Union Members' jobs, which produce ZERO benefit, and cost taxpayers a ton of money.
The Public Sector is a money-laundering operation of the DNC, and a 50% reduction, NATION-WIDE will be a good start on government solvency.

I guess they didn't,check out the unemployment rate in Senate Majority Leader Harry Reids state of Nevada,big backer of unions,highest unemployment rate in the nation.
