Unemployment rises in 29 of Wisconsin's largest 32 cities

Published 4:32 PM CST Dec 23, 2015




Unemployment rates rose across most of Wisconsin's largest cities in November.


Preliminary data the state Department of Workforce Development released Wednesday shows unemployment rates in 29 of the state's 32 biggest cities increased from October.

Beloit saw its unemployment rate fall from 5.3 percent to 5.2 percent. Caledonia's rate remained unchanged at 4.4 percent and West Allis's rate held steady at 4.9 percent.

My apologizes to those in Wisconsin affected by this tyranny, I understand and sympathize that it is no small thing to you. That being said, The Koch bros are using WI as a test market for the rest of the country.

The new jobs indicated by the drop in the unemployment rate are temp jobs that end after x-mas.
I wonder what the unemployment rate among AAs is? It has to be horrendous.
