A report that measures the success of Milwaukee jobs WI, especially those in blue-collar industries, has shown a decline in the area.
A new report from the Institute for Supply Management-Milwaukee found that business activity in the Milwaukee area dropped during October. The main cause of the decline was a decrease in blue-collar employment and manufacturing production levels.
The report found that the business barometer slipped to 50 during October from 58 during September, during which time the business barometer was at a 20-month high. As an index above 50 indicates expansion and an index below 50 indicates contraction, Milwaukee’s current number shows neither.
