For all private workers, as well as production and nonsupervisory:

So, with real wages rising and employment growth strong, Wisconsin seems to be in a good economic spot, a perception that is reflected in polls, in the aggregate.

Why the GOP Effort to Stop Biden’s Withdrawal Is Bogus

I noted earlier the very sick joke of a suggestion from Trump’s rear end wiper Mike Johnson but this is a very good discussion of why want Jhnson is saying is pure trash. The discussion closes with:
“it’s up to the party to decide whom it wants to nominate as its candidate.”
So Johnson – you and your MAGA party clowns. BUTT out. Then again Mike Johnson decided at the end of the 2020 election where the voters choose Biden – he and Trump had the right to overturn a fair election. So I guess this stunt was to be expected from this disgusting little clown.
As.Trump and his lackeys try to convince us that Kamala Harris is unfit for office, keep in mind that Trump has twice saw fit to contribute cash to her campaigns:

Harris gave the money to a non-profit.
But Harris did not keep the $6,000 from Trump. A spokesperson told the Sacramento Bee in 2020 that she donated the money to a “nonprofit that advocates for civil and human rights for Central Americans”
I bet that really ticked Trump off!
The campaign ad writes itself, doesn’t it? Great find!
Has saw? I really nead to edut bedder.
Pretty good. Pretty, pretty, pretty good…….
Oh gee – Ohio Republicans must be afraid Trump is going to lose. They are already preparing for a Civil War. Yea – the MAGA crowd are all a bunch of traitors.
