Wisconsin Unemployment Rate Sets New Record

The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development reports the state’s unemployment rate has set a new record low at two-point-eight percent.  The new rate was released Thursday.  Wisconsin’s unemployment rate had been two-point-nine percent for the last two months, tying the all-time mark.  It moved one-tenth of a point lower in April despite the loss of 31-hundred private sector jobs.  Democrats have claimed Wisconsin’s low unemployment rate is just following the national economy’s growth.  They say this state is under-performing neighboring states and it’s creating few jobs.
