GREEN BAY (WKBT) — Wisconsin will spend $130 million on solutions to address the post-pandemic workforce shortage.
The money will toward three programs to support connecting unemployed or underemployed workers with new opportunities and incentivize solutions to regional workforce shortages.
“I’m proud of our work to ensure Wisconsin’s economy can continue to recover, and that’s why it’s critically important that we invest in our workforce. We’ve heard from unemployed workers, business, and community leaders across the state about the workforce challenges they face, and recognize there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to meeting these needs,” Evers said. “These programs will allow us to invest in regional solutions, help businesses find workers, and provide support to our friends and neighbors who are getting back on their feet.”
