Wisconsinâs return to near pre-pandemic unemployment levels has brought with it the reemergence of one of the biggest challenges facing some of the stateâs largest industries â a workforce shortage.
The need for workers in multiple sectors of the economy has Republicans and the stateâs largest business lobby calling on the state to end its participation in enhanced federal pandemic unemployment benefits, which they say creates a disincentive to work.
Liberals point to long-term structural changes as an opportunity to provide higher wages, better benefits, more skills-based training and adequate child care offerings â a need that was drastically amplified with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic â as necessary to get more Wisconsinites into the workforce.

Travel experts believe those who missed out on making vacation memories last year aren t letting this summer slip away. Here in Wisconsin for trips of two nights or more, already this year, we re outpacing the pandemic year of 2020. But not only that, but we re also outpacing 2019, which was a record-setting year for tourism in Wisconsin, said Acting Secretary Anne Sayers with the Wisconsin Department of Tourism.
Sayers says with hotels and rentals being scooped up fast, it s giving the hospitality industry a much-needed income boost. We re seeing these trends where travelers are traveling in larger-group sizes, they re spending more time on vacation. Those are really strong indicators that they ll spend a little more money, she continued.
