Walker well off pace on jobs pledge
It's the two-year anniversary of Governor Walker's inauguration, 
and he has a lot of ground to make up, to succeed in his pledge to create 250,000 jobs.
Totals from the department of workforce development show the state added about 37,000 new jobs, through November of last year. That's just 15 percent of his goal.
Walker says during his first two years in office, he had to deal with recalls, a slower-than-anticipated national recovery, the fiscal cliff, and the impact of federal health care reforms. But says he's not going to back away from his work to create jobs. He says the state is going to be more aggressive in the next two years.
