Sounds like a winner to me.

That's a little misleading, because after Obama became President and started turning the country around from the fiscal mismanagement of the Bush Administration, which had plunged the country into the worst recession since the Great Depression, companies were able to add some jobs for which Walker takes credit (most politicians play that game), and so WI experienced some gains in employment. Also, the WI unemployment rate is lower than the national average.
A big problem for Walker is that the jobs being created by WI are mostly not in manufacturing (good middle class jobs).
If Walker fails to make good on his jobs promise, it will be a major factor in his being a one-term Governor.
