Strengthening
Our Economy and Building Relationships in Japan and South Korea
Wisconsin
is open for business.
Recent
expansions and investments by Foxconn, Generac, Haribo, and others have made it
resoundingly clear that Wisconsin is a great place to do business. Our
international profile is rising and we want to use it to benefit Wisconsin
taxpayers and businesses.
This
week, I’m sitting down with Japanese and South Korean business owners and
leaders to encourage foreign investment in Wisconsin and new business
partnerships with state companies.
Our
skilled workforce, reliable infrastructure, and limited regulations create a
welcoming business climate that attracts domestic and foreign investments
alike. As a result, Wisconsin has become a magnet for companies that provide
not just jobs, but family-supporting careers.
Together,
we’ll work to strengthen and expand Wisconsin’s economy.
We are working and winning for Wisconsin.
Wisconsin
Among Top States for Job Growth Outlook
A
new employment report from Milwaukee’s ManpowerGroup shows 26 percent of
Wisconsin employers plan to add jobs in the next three months, one of the
highest results in the country. Combined with Wisconsin’s 3.2% unemployment
rate and 68.8% labor force participation rate, Wisconsin’s economic future is
bright.
These
results are a testament to our common-sense, conservative reforms. Combined
with our budget’s focus on education and workforce development, we’re ensuring
our workforce is ready to take full advantage of all the opportunities coming
our way.
With
our highly-educated, highly-trained labor force, Wisconsin is ready and willing
to work.
We enjoy sharing all the great news about our state with you. It is an honor to serve as your Governor and represent the people of Wisconsin.
Sincerely,
 Governor Scott Walker
