Wisconsin doing poorly on jobs and personal income
July 20, 2009 by Capt. Karl
Our state motto is “Forward,” but Wisconsin is falling behind in the economic race to create jobs and raise family incomes.
We’re lagging our own economic performance of the 1990s and losing ground to other states — especially to other upper Midwest states such as Minnesota, Iowa and Illinois.
This sobering assessment transcends the usually polarized debate in Madison. From the left, right and center, the view is equally grim.
From the left, the Center on Wisconsin Strategy published its annual report in late 2008 with this unhappy summary:
“The national economy has grown more rapidly than Wisconsin’s, leaving the state’s per capita income more than $2,500 behind the national [average].”
From the center, the non-partisan Competitive Wisconsin group reached a similar conclusion in its 2008 benchmark report: “Wisconsin has moved further away from the national average in per capita income, number of new jobs created and number of new private businesses.”
