Opportunity Wisconsin also releases new graphic outlining the tough choices Wisconsin workers continue to face as corporations get billions
MADISON, Wis. — Today, as President Trump took a Rose Garden victory lap on everything from COVID-19, to racial inequality and the economy – even going so far as to say this is a “great day” for George Floyd – Opportunity Wisconsin released the following statement on the May jobs report which shows unemployment is still the highest it’s been since the Great Depression.
“While President Trump desperately wants us to believe the American economy is on the road to recovery after his mishandling of the COVID-19 crisis, today’s jobs report tells a very different story,” said Kate Beaton, Opportunity Wisconsin steering committee member and Eau Claire alderperson.
Last month, Opportunity Wisconsin unveiled a new website to share updated and aggregated job data from across the state.
While Wisconsin workers continue to suffer, President Trump continues his push to cut off unemployment benefits and force workers back on the job before it’s safe.
Today Opportunity Wisconsin also released the following graphic outlining the tough choices Wisconsin workers continue to face as corporations get billions.
