Kaufman Alyssa Nepper, UW-Parkside
Dennis Kaufman, professor and chair of the department of economics at the University of Wisconsin-Parkside, said he thinks the concept that workers are turning down work because of the stimulus and increased unemployment benefits, is âmean-spiritedâ and impractical.
âSome may have made more money by not working, but for how long?â Kaufman said. âItâs a short-term argument ⦠in light of the pandemic, it was better (for the government) to be more generous than less generous.â
As more businesses reopen their doors and expand operations while the COVID-19 pandemic wanes, âHelp Wantedâ signs are cropping up like spring dandelions, with many employers saying they are finding it more difficult than ever to find workers.

Evers
RACINE â Wisconsin Democrats are calling on people across the state to put pressure on their Republican counterparts to undo their efforts to hollow out Gov. Tony Eversâ proposed 2021-23 budget.
Vos
Eversâ proposal was expected to be picked apart by the Republicans who control the Legislature, just as his administrationâs first proposed budget was two years ago. This time around, Evers was praised by progressives and slammed by conservatives for including, as Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, R-Rochester, put it, âhundreds of divisive policy itemsâ in his budget proposal.
Now, progressive leaders are touring the state trying to drum up support for Eversâ original proposal and to reach out to Republican legislators to encourage them to undo some of the trimming already done to the budget. The 2021-23 budget is to take effect July 1, so a budget or some other compromise needs the governorâs signature before then to avoid a shutdown.

MADISON, Wis. (WMTV) - After a vote, the Joint Finance Committee (JFC) pulled nearly 400 items from Governor Evers’ Budget Thursday.
Among the items of high importance:
Legislators on the JFC spent more than an hour debating the importance of expanding Badger Care, a state Medicaid program for low-income Wisconsinites.
“This is an extension of welfare,” State Rep. Mark Born (R) 39th District said. “I will tell it like it is, and that is what this is.”
