Wisconsin in Top 10, finally, of Best States To Do Business, but ...

       Chief Executive Magazine just ranked Wisconsin in the Top Ten, after continual progress in recent years.  That means we have most of the right policies/programs/mechanisms in place … but doesn’t mean we will have great job growth.  That depends on individual entrepreneurs, and Wisconsin by-and-large isn’t a highly entrepreneurial state.

However, our state business tax rate of a flat 7.9% is still one of the highest.

Little known:  Our rate of workforce participation at 69% is one of the highest in the country; average is 62%.
