Scott Walker's record on jobs is not very good

I just read the funniest article ("Fact check: Walker’s statement on layoffs is correct but it’s lacking the context of the overall jobs situation") in the Sheboygan Press PolitiFact. Scott Walker is talking about the amount of laid-off workers in Wisconsin and how bad it is getting.

If I remember right, unemployment was not at an all-time low when Scott Walker was governor of Wisconsin. I do remember Scott Walker promising 250,000 jobs that never appeared. I do remember Scott Walker using eminent domain to take people’s homes away from them. I also remember Scott Walker and the Republicans taking away workers’ rights though Act 10.

So, the last person on Earth I would listen to for advice on workers in Wisconsin is Scott Walker. He’s 0 for 250,000. Not a very good record.
