Fun With Numbers

Daddio29 (fave of PaddyMac) has some stats about the average income of public workers in southeast Wisconsin. This post has already hit the echo chamber with Owen Robinson's and the Sheeples for Walker sites.

What makes it interesting is that Milwaukee County AFSCME workers average in at $16.50 per hour, based on the recent contract talks.

So does this mean that the other County's are able to pay their people more, or that Walker and his cronies didn't need those five-figured raises to offset his proposed cuts, or both?

  2. You know better?

    And how do you know better? Divine knowledge? Or is it simply just a "don't question me, cuz I said so" type of scenario?

  3. Nope. It's the FEDS that said so.

    Remember them? Obama-ville?

  4. Your chart is also a compilation of three counties, and not separated as I did.

    You are just salty because I proved you wrong. Again.
