MADISON, WI (METRO) – The end of the enhanced federal unemployment benefits has some people heading back to restaurants and shops, but Wisconsin businesses are going to be looking at a worker shortage for a while to come.
Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce’s Kurt Bauer yesterday said Wisconsin didn’t have enough workers before the coronavirus, and the state doesn’t have enough workers now.
He says that extra 300 dollars-per-week didn’t help things.
Bauer said manufacturers in Wisconsin continue to need workers, but the good news is that almost all of them are hiring.
