Journal Sentinel - Wisconsin's pace of job creation, which has lagged the national rate
for years, fell further behind in the latest quarterly data while
landing the Badger State in the bottom tier of its peer Midwestern
states. The most accurate
employment data available raises questions about the strength of
Wisconsin's economic recovery, said Charles Franklin, a social scientist
and data specialist at Marquette University Law School.
Wisconsin gained 27,491 private-sector jobs in the 12 months from September 2013 through September 2014, a 1.16% increase that gives Wisconsin a rank of 40th among the 50 states in the pace of job creation in that period. But the differences between Wisconsin, Vermont and Iowa were so fractional that the three states effectively tied at a rank of 38th
