Wisconsin is Working for the Weekend, Employment Rate Higher than National Average

The latest snapshot of Wisconsin’s economy shows little has changed.

The state’s Department of Workforce Development yesterday released the unemployment numbers for March. The state says Wisconsin’s unemployment rate continues to hover at three percent, while the state’s labor participation rate continues to sit below 66 percent. The good news is Wisconsin’s labor participation rate is almost three points better than the national rate.

In all, just over three million people are working in Wisconsin.
