janesvillean; I'm still looking for the help wanted ad from Liquipur. Have you seen it? of course not, because that was 5 months ago & they still havent even began work on the building they were going to move in to. Are they even still coming? - I bet not based on the even further down turn since then.

They met resistance to expanding in Walworth so they're leaving. Makes perfect sense to me.

Inyafaze, Wisconsin has been doing better at job retention than most states, including Illinois, during the recession. Consider the Liquipur jobs coming to Janesville from Illinois, and try not to draw conclusions from individual anecdotes. Border communities will often see jobs moving back and forth simply because they are nearby.

More jobs leaving Wisconsin. Theres a shocker. Did illinois offer great incentives and tax brakes to get them to move the business too?
