Workforce shortage challenges reemerge as Wisconsin businesses dig out of the pandemic

MITCHELL SCHMIDT Wisconsin’s return to near pre-pandemic unemployment levels has brought with it the reemergence of one of the biggest challenges facing some of the state’s largest industries — a workforce shortage. The need for workers in multiple sectors of the economy has Republicans and the state’s largest business lobby calling on the state to end its participation in enhanced federal pandemic unemployment benefits, which they say creates a disincentive to work.

Black and Latina women carried the brunt of job loss in December

PolitiFact s ruling: True Here s why: When the Bureau of Labor Statistics issued its latest job numbers, the Jan. 8, 2021 release brought a jaw-dropping number to light – from November to December the U.S. economy lost 140,000 jobs. Then came another jaw-dropper: As a group, only women lost jobs. Then came this claim, from Wisconsin Treasurer Sarah Godlewski. On Jan. 9, 2021, she tweeted a link to a CNN article about the job losses among women with this comment: This headline is hiding something from you. It wasn’t all women that lost jobs, it was mostly Black and Latina women. In fact, white women gained employment.
