Description

The state of Wisconsin has handed out more than $1 billion in incentives over 13 years to a small fraction of the state's public and private firms. Development officials claim this practice creates thousands of new jobs, but a computer investigation by the Journal Sentinel found these claims are often false. The average job created by the business incentives program costs the public $90,000 -- or nine times the state's own maximum cost-per-job guidelines.
