Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.

One of the most important duties I have serving as your Governor is to provide you directly with updates related to the operation of our state government. I also frequently provide updates on Facebook (Governor Scott Walker) and Twitter (@govwalker). Please feel free to share this update with your family, friends, and others who may be interested in state government operations. |

Federal Government Publishes Jobs Numbers This week, the federal government verified the Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages (QCEW) for the first quarter of 2012. It showed Wisconsin created more than 37,000 private sector jobs from March 2011 to March 2012, including a gain of 12,138 jobs in the manufacturing sector. Unlike other states, Wisconsin faced economic and political uncertainty over the last year, and our continued private sector job growth is good news. I am particularly pleased with the gains in the manufacturing sector, which make up a huge portion of our state’s economy. The quarterly job count data shows, yet again, the monthly job estimates are not accurate. I am hopeful the state Department of Workforce Development will be able to work with the federal government to bring the monthly estimates back in line with the actual job numbers. The fiscal reforms we put in place, coupled with reforms like reducing frivolous lawsuits and bringing certainty and accountability to state regulations, established a strong foundation for job growth. Moving forward, we will continue to find ways to make it easier for the people of our state to put Wisconsinites back to work. Below are a few highlights of the QCEW data published by the federal government:

Highlighting Manufacturing This week, I highlighted manufacturing by raising awareness of a partnership between the Milwaukee School of Engineering and Snap-on, a leading global innovator, manufacturer, and marketer of tools, equipment, diagnostics, repair information, and systems solutions for professional users performing critical tasks. October 5 is Manufacturing Day, which is designed to expand knowledge about manufacturing careers and improve perception about the benefits of choosing a career in this important industry. Additional information about Manufacturing Day can be accessed by clicking here. |
