Early this week, the High Road Strategy Center released the State of Working Wisconsin 2024 report. The annual report offers the latest data on jobs, wages, and unions, with a special focus on women workers in the country. The numbers show that unemployment is at near record lows and lower-income earners are experiencing the strongest wage-increases. Both of these are markers of increased equality.
On today’s show, host Allen Ruff speaks with UW-Madison labor economist and High Road Strategy Center associate director Laura Dresser. Dresser speaks with Ruff about geographic disparities, union impacts, and gender disparities.
