On Thursday, the Wisconsin Dept. of Workforce Development released its latest employment statistics which saw the seasonally adjusted rate fall two-tenths of a point to 2.5%. The decrease was precipitated by a record low 76,600 people who were unemployed in Wisconsin, according to the DWD. Total non-farm jobs sit just below three million after more than 41,000 jobs were added in the past year. The seasonally adjusted 2,997,000 jobs reported in March, pushed the state past where it stood on the eve of the pandemic, topping the January 2020 figure by 3,900 jobs.
