The Wisconsin Skills Mismatch

Jobs that require education and training that fall between a high school diploma and a four-year degree are the backbone of the American economy, and they depend on a skilled workforce to fill them.

In Wisconsin, a majority of jobs (55%) require skills training beyond a high school, but not a four-year degree. But too few of Wisconsin’s workers — just 48% — have had access to the skills training necessary to fill these in-demand careers.
