WMC's Latest Employer Survey

A new survey of Wisconsin businesses revealed increased economic uncertainty at the start of 2023, with a majority saying a recession is looming. According to the Wisconsin Employer Survey, 60 percent of businesses believe the Wisconsin economy will enter a recession this year.

According to the survey, the uncertainty about the economy has reinforced a pessimistic outlook.
