The Madison area has lost more than eight-thousand jobs over the past four years.
The Wisconsin Policy Forum attributes more than three-thousand of those job losses from 2019 through 2022 to declines in the tech sector. Statewide, Wisconsin lost more than 52-thousand jobs compared to employment levels before the pandemic hit. But even with the loss in jobs, the state’s unemployment rate remains near historic low of two-point-five percent.
