That seems to suggest people are being pulled from nowhere to fill these needs.
Some will change jobs in WI, leaving their old jobs open for a previously unemployed worker.
Some will come off unemployment/welfare in WI and take a job.
Still others may come from out of state - and take a job.
At the end of the day 13,000 workers will be added to the WI workforce, and some number of previously unemployed workers will come of star/federal assistance programs.
Wait! You forgot the Pelosi Economic Multiplier - every dollar of unemployment benefits 'generates' $2-3 of 'economic activity' - I have to assume that money actually earned producing a product has to create $5-6 of 'economic activity'!
How many jobs were created by the $1T stimulus package in 2009?
For extra points, how many of those jobs were, tee-hee, 'shovel-ready'?
Solyndra took a half billion dollars, built whistling robots to build over-priced solar panels in a factory in Silicon Valley, and the company imploded under low sales and massive debt EXACTLY WHEN COLD-HEARTED GOV'T ANALYSTS PREDICTED when the loan application was rejected under Bush '43.
A few well-placed donations to Obama's campaign they got the cash and proved the previous administration right.
THAT was considered a 'success story' under a democrat administration, republicans are held to a higher standard it seems.

The 43 million Americans depending on food stamps are seeing the introduction of apps like Propel's Fresh EBT, which allows users to check balances, track deals, and organize budgets accordingly. And Propel is only one of several companies looking to disrupt outdated social programs, Tonya Riley reports at Backchannel. But the Trump administration, with its hiring freezes and budget cuts, poses threats to these advancements.
How do federal budget cuts and hiring freezes hurt private companies like Propel?
Q: Is Propel a non-profit, or are they hoping to profit off SNAP recipients?
The solution is to make sure that people *always* get more money when they work (at least if they're capable). That way they're incentivized to work and they can break the cycle. Instead of benefits disappearing, they can gradually be phased out as the person earns more money, and it can be done in such a way that more money from work always means more income.
This is exactly how unemployment benefits work, at least how they did in NJ a few years ago...
I lost my job, drew an unemployment check of, let's say, $350/week. When I was approved to receive benefits I had 26x weeks of $350/week payments in my 'account' - every check drew down my account, and benefits ran out when the 'account' was depleted.
I found part-time work. With part-time work I had a new, increased, weekly benefit, call it $450/week. My part-time job paid me $250/week, and that was subtracted from my new weekly benefit, so that in addition to my $250/week paycheck I also received a $200 unemployment check, so my weekly income became $450/week.
I believe this approach is pretty common across the states. By drawing down less money each week, my benefits lasted longer than 26x weeks.
Is to show how this not just reduces time for the EBT customers, but can reduce headcount in government call centers by reducing the need for customer service.
So we want to reduce headcount in gov't call centers? Great, then those former employees can go on welfare and food stamps/SNAP!
He caused, through his direct actions, crimes to be committed on US soil.
If he put a bomb in a box and mailed to someone in the US from England, and that bomb exploded on US soil, killing someone, should he be convicted in the US for murder or be subject only to lying on the U.K. Postal forms about the contents of his package?
99 years for logging into a unsecured FTP server would be considered fine down there.
Without dwelling to long on the idea of how, exactly, one 'logs into' an 'unsecured FTP server', I find it hard to believe he 'accidentally' logged into an unknown US Gov't server and then was somehow tracked down and arrested.
If he only wanted to be subject to more lenient U.K. Hacking laws, he should have stuck with hacking into U.K. Servers.
No, where the crime occurred, not where they are seated when the crime is committed elsewhere.
US gov't servers on US soil were hacked by someone not on US soil...
If I sit in a bistro in France and call a hit man in the US to kill my business partner in the US, exactly why should I be tried in the French court system?
Seriously, are we not supposed to convict criminals that claim to be autistic?
Failure means Love will be flown to a holding facility in New York, placed on suicide watch and probably forced to take antidepressants, prior to a trial.
And in the U.K., wouldn't they take similar precautions to keep a high-risk prisoner safe? Would they deny him needed medication? Turn a blind eye to his suicide attempts?
Come on, these days it seems like nearly half of all school-age children are considered to be 'on the autism spectrum'... (in truth it's more like 2%)
One thing we know for sure, there were absolutely no hurricanes before man started recording them, so we can say with absolute certainty that (fill-in latest hurricane name here) is the absolute worst hurricane EVER!
The paper does not discuss the process of injecting 5 teragrams (5 million tonnes) of SO2 into the stratosphere each year but since airliners fly in the lower stratosphere, and a 747-400 can carry 100+ tonnes as payload 50,000 flights a year could do this using planes that were flying SO2 tanks. If one plane could do 10 flights a day then a fleet of only 15 planes could handle the mission.
So 150 flights day, every day, for the next 50 years? Are you sure you can safely shove 100 tonnes of SO2 into a pressurized tank that fits inside a 747? (in other words, what is the volume of 100 tonnes of SO2 compared to the volume of a 747?)
One tonne of CO2 (a rough approximation of SO2) occupies 556 cubic meters
Volume of one ton CO2 = 22730moles × 24.47L/mole = 556200L = 556.2m
DACA is a protection racket - it charges the lowest priority deportation candidates (youthful immigrants with no convictions) and charges them $400+ dollars for two years of protection from something that was never likely to happen.
On the upside, now the federal government has a self-funded database with the accurate address info for 800K illegal immigrants! Bravo Democrats, you pulled thiese "dreamers" out of the shadows, took note of their addresses, then waited for your temporary stopgap measure to end, making them the easiest immigrants to deport.
To own and operate the machine Is likely less than 17x so-called 'living wages', so those 17 factory workers are going to be freed-up to find better opportunities, like...
In Kansas City Google only ran fiber to the home of people that signed up for their service. And only in 'fiberhoods' where enough people signed up for their service to make it worth the expense of installing the infrastructure in that area.
Wow, imagine if legacy ISPs were allowed to do that... only run cable to houses/neighborhoods where it was to the company's advantage!
This couple (likely) did something to activate the 'mistake' in the website, once they intentionally repeated their activation they flipped from customers to thieves, so they should be charged with a crime.
I suspect they discovered some 'test' credit card info that Lowe's uses to test the software that by-passes credit authorizations, likely revealed to them by a friend or relative that works at Lowe's corporate offices.
If what I suspect is what happened, that would be an example of a chargeable crime.
If they used their own valid CC info and the website never charged the order, that would not necessarily be a crime, assuming they agreed to have the valid charges run again.
One of the suspects' lawyer argued that his client didn't have the skills to penetrate the security on the web site of a Fortune 500 company -- and insisted instead that his client just had a really special knack for finding good deals.
Dear lord, Maine 'invested' $12M x 15 years, or $180M, in something that had no appreciable impact on student test scores?!?!
Telling me it is just 1% of their education budget has me wondering what in the world Maine is getting for their $1.2BN 'investment' in public education.
Maine has a voucher program that puts 15-20% of the state's children in private schools - did they get laptops as well? Probably not...
Interesting how this voucher program, open to all children in the state, has been going since 1973, but the left (which vehemently opposes school vouchers) never seems able to shutdown this program.
Knowledge of the functioning of the pancreas does not, in and of itself, lead to a higher paycheck for most Americans.

President Obama called this a temporary, stopgap measure when he announced it. He stated it wasn't amnesty, wasn't a path to citizenship - unfortunately, he left out the fact it also wasn't Constitutional.
