According to the U.S. Small Business Association 99.4% of the Wisconsin business comes from small businesses of less than 500 employees (Office of Advocacy, 2021). I understand the amount of work that goes into a small businesses and farming. My priority is to support every Wisconsin business and farmer.
Turning over a new leaf: According to the U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics, the turn over rate for employees in leisure and hospitality is 84.9%, education and health is 37.3%, and professional and business services is 64.2% in 2021 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics , 2022). As Governor my goal is to slow down the increasing turn over rates in Wisconsin by providing businesses with access to resources they need.
Blue Collar doesn’t mean lower class: Our farmers and tradespeople are important to Wisconsin. As Governor it is my goal to bridge the gap between blue collar and white collar jobs. I believe that the insistence for more white collar jobs is creating a skills gap that, if not fixed, could have devastating consequences to our state. I will pursue education in skill based employment that will help Wisconsin move forward in closing the gaps of the labor force .
Informed budgeting and aid: I plan to boost economic growth in Wisconsin by providing financial aid relief packages to our businesses and our people, in efforts to boost our economy and bring back a lively working community.
