A healthy economy requires thriving private-sector job creation. Wisconsin has anything but — we’re losing private jobs:
Wisconsin’s economy continued to struggle in May as the state lost 7,900 private-sector jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis and only managed to offset the declines with a surge of new hires by federal, state and local government agencies, according to state employment data released Thursday.
Casting new doubts on the durability of the state’s recovery, private-sector hiring fell for the second time in three months after adjustments to smooth out seasonal fluctuations such as the start of school vacations. It also coincides with criticism in Washington and elsewhere over costly government stimulus spending to compensate for the jobs annihilated in the recession.
There’s a solution — significantly reduced government spending, reduction in taxes, and repeal of small business-related fees and charges. That’s the way to a more productive, and thus prosperous, Wisconsin.
