Wisconsin Losing Jobs

Sigh… it goes on. 

Wisconsin lost 1,000 private-sector jobs in June on a seasonally adjusted basis, the state Department of Workforce Development reported Thursday.

Manufacturing, information and financial services, and arts and entertainment all lost jobs, according to the latest data.

In the public sector, meanwhile, employment at all levels of government - local, state and federal - lost jobs in June as well. The federal government lost the greatest number of jobs - 3,600 - which coincide with the expiration of short-term canvassing work for the 2010 census.
