In the latest economic indicator that casts Wisconsin in a negative light, the Badger State ranks 49th in the nation in the most recent index from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia.

Economists cautioned against reading too much into a single month's data.
And the Philadelphia Fed's report is imperfect. Among the multiple variables used to compile the leading index, a significant component is the monthly state employment report, which is prone to heavy revisions. That's because the government bases its monthly findings on a survey of only about 3% of the state's employers. That creates a wide margin of error when they are extrapolated statewide.

I'm unsure how much time you feel is reasonable for these changes to occur? I would also think that the whole recall campaign took up a lot of political energy across the state.
WI has been heading into the crapper for quite some time as has my home state of IL....just for somewhat different reasons.
I can't help but see you taking a single months report citing the experts saying not to read too much into it and think you are hopelessly partisan. You kinda sound like the rwnj's frothing about Obama not fixing the economy 2 years into his term.
