Wisconsin Lags America in Job Creation

Wisconsin ranked 30th overall in the nation in private-sector job creation during the 12 months ending in March, according to data released Thursday.

Wisconsin reported a 1.72% increase in private-sector jobs for that period, compared with the previous 12 months, according to employment numbers released by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The state added 39,624 jobs.

The state’s performance compares with a 2.4% increase for the nation — continuing Wisconsin’s historic lag in job creation.
