1. Job out look in

Central Wisconsin is sort of mixed...there seems to be some hiring in the Wausau area and maybe in Fox Valley region but relatively slow.

Which LP plant is closing...I missed that..........

4. Want ads

Very few "professional-technical" positions

Lots of ads for commission only type sales...look out for those!

Some "management trainee" positions available at fast food and convenience stores.......

Not much else.......

2. Unfortunately

the Repug controlled state assembly has been able to keep Wisconsin's economic and employment problems off the front pages with the usual suspects: gay marriage, conceal and carry, property tax reform, etc...

Hopefully, when the State Legislature adjourn for the session, discussion will swing to the massive bleeding of jobs, especially manufacturing jobs, that Wisconsin has suffered over the last three years. If that happens it will be bad news for Bush and the "do-nothings" in the state house.

5. Look in the Sunday Want Ads in Milwaukee

Pathetic.

1/2 column or professional/Technical.

Tons of low-pay service jobs.

Hope I can keep my job long enough to see the Repugs tossed out...
