(The Center Square) – Wisconsin’s unemployment rate dropped to 3.4% in May, down from 3.5% in April. The state also saw 5,800 more people employed year over year while the labor force participation rate remained at 64.4% in what Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development Office of Economic Advisors Section Chief Scott Hodek called “a bit of a mixed bag.” Hodek said it “speaks to the strength of the U.S. economy that we’re still seeing growth” despite the war in Iraq and U.S. tariff implications. Hodek said the data was similar to prior seasonal patterns and the economy has “cooled a bit overall” while “this month’s data relatively positive.” The state has 9,000 more construction jobs than the year with 8,900 more in private education and health services and 7,100 more in leisure and hospitality. Wisconsin was down 11,600 jobs in trade and 3,700 in manufacturing over the year.
