My State is Dead Last in Job Growth -- No MY State is Dead Last in Job Growth
Vanity ^ | Vanity

Posted on 10/24/2014 7:12:05 PM PDT by sgtyork

I live in Wisconsin, which according to Mary Burke Democrat candidate for governor is dead last in the Midwest for job growth.

((Its a flat out lie, Walker has really turned job growth around and says Wisconsin is 4th in the Midwest for job growth.

I work a lot in Illinois which according to Illinois Policy and the Illinois GOP is dead last in the country for job growth. This is also advertised on political radio ads.

http://www.rebootillinois.com/2014/01/23/uncategorized/brendanbond/illinois-predicted-dead-last-job-growth-2014/5012/

But when I binged it, the GOP Minnesota gubernatorial candidate also says Minnesota is dead last in job growth.

I thought it would be an interesting challenge to see how many of our bordering states are 'dead last in job growth' and who is the biggest fail Quinn Illinois, Burke, WI or Dayton MN.

If you have a job, feel blessed. You will not change the minds of Obola bots.

All states are dead last — but some are deader than others.

In Michigan we call the Granholm years “The Lost Decade”.

Ever notice how almost every state is 48th in education spending?

They just count on you not to check.

I moved my business from Minnesota to Texas three years ago. And Minnesota conservatives, you may vote for Jeff Johnson, but Mark Ritchie already has pre-marked ballots in the trunks of strategically pre-positioned abandoned cars in Eveleth and Biwabik. Remember, Minnesota, it’s not who votes, it’s who counts the votes that matters. Joe Stalin said that, and Mark Ritchie is a good little commie (censored).

“All states are dead last — but some are deader than others.”

Best comment I’ve read today.

Scott Walker deserves a bunch of praise for all the crap he put up with and still has been an effective and fair governor. Balanced budget and no teacher layoffs—just a little less extortions the Unions can’t deploy thanks to Walker.

Today received job offer, after being unemployed for 2 years. Last week gave dozen of interviews. Finally.
I live in California.

Bad news. The company just folded.

Since States and businesses do not create jobs, one must assume that the Feds are responsible - about damn time they started fessing up...

This must be the DemonRat meme for this election cycle as we are being told up here in America’s Armpit that Maine is dead last in job creation.

Makes sense that since there are multiple ways to measure job growth, there could be multiple ‘dead lasts’ in a region.

Or it could be that they all hired the same political consultant.
