For comparison:
- The deal negotiated by former governor Scott Walker was expected to cost taxpayers between $172k and $290k in government funding per job created. [0]
- $80 million for 1,454 employees, the provisions of the updated deal per TFA, is $55k each.
- The US average cost of similar programs is $24k. [0]
It's not obvious whether this is a good deal, but unlike the original it's not obviously a bad deal.
