MADISON… Assembly Majority Leader Tyler August (R-Walworth) released the following statement in response to the approval of the Workforce Package in the State Assembly:
“Employers all across Wisconsin are facing a workforce shortage. Assembly Republicans’ goals are to increase labor force participation through key program reforms, while also providing training and resources to ensure success.
Our state’s unemployment program should be a safety net to help individuals who are in need after an unexpected job loss. The program needs to be refocused to get unemployed individuals back into the workforce as soon as possible.
We’re also focusing on creating new workforce metrics to help measure program performance and increasing safeguards to combat fraud.”
