Governor Scott Walker joined members of the Independent Business Association of Wisconsin (IBAW) today for their year-end meeting.  This annual meeting provides an opportunity for IBAW members to wrap up their year by networking and learning more about Wisconsin’s economic climate.

“Our unemployment is the lowest it’s been since March of 2001 and our labor participation rate in Wisconsin is 5.3 points above the national rate,” Governor Walker said.  “More people are working and we continue to build a stronger, more prosperous Wisconsin every day.  We’re happy to be here in Milwaukee today with IBAW to talk about Wisconsin’s economy and how we can support businesses as they continue to grow and thrive in our great state.”
