6,000 jobs touted by Governor Scott Walker outside Wisconsin

MADISON — Nearly one-in-five of the jobs listed on a state website touted by Gov. Scott Walker as a resource for unemployed Wisconsin residents are actually located in neighboring states, according to an analysis by The Associated Press.

More than 32,000 job openings were posted on the Job Center of Wisconsin’s website as of Tuesday, but about 18 percent of them were in Illinois, Minnesota, Iowa and Michigan. It was unclear how many of those roughly 6,000 jobs could be filled through telecommuting, though many appeared to require on-site work.

Walker ran on a promise to add 250,000 private sector jobs in the state by 2015, and the Republican repeatedly referenced the website — the state’s official jobs site — in his radio address last week as a place for Wisconsin’s unemployed to find jobs and quickly connect with employers.

1. With all his union busting and train derailing

he is getting rid of jobs, not helping create them.

2. He's a Triple-A Platinum, Brass-Balled, "A-Hole"...

...but I don't know that just listing job postings from other states is necessarily something to fault the Wanker for.

*Unless* he were to try and take credit and call any one of them a 'job created (in Wisconsin)' by him.

But if you're the one looking for work and there's no jobs around locally, it doesn't hurt to have some kind of option,
even if it does involve travel and/or relocation.
