Wisconsin Unemployment

The four-county region that includes Milwaukee and Waukesha led job growth in Wisconsin in April as metro Milwaukee added 4,100 net new jobs on a seasonally adjusted basis.

Metro Milwaukee’s job gains, reported Wednesday by the state Department of Workforce Development, accounted for one in four jobs created statewide last month when the state added 16,400 jobs – the largest single-month job increase in more than 14 years. April marked the fourth consecutive month that Wisconsin added jobs.
