In May, 2012, when his monthly jobs numbers were lagging, Walker referred to the "Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages" (the QCEW) as the "gold standard of jobs measurement."
Today, the lastest QCEW jobs report is out and, once again, it shows that since Scott Walker took office in 2011, Wisconsin is dead last in the midwest in job growth and 35th out of all states.
Even more disappointing is that during the past year, while neighbor Michigan led the entire country in manufacturing job growth, Wisconsin was ranked a pathetic 35th in that category, as well.
