(Terry Bell, WRN) Wisconsin employers can expect a worker shortage for the foreseeable future.

The end of enhanced federal unemployment benefits may have some people heading back to work, but Wisconsin Manufacturers and Commerce says the state didn’t have enough workers before the coronavirus pandemic, and that there aren’t enough workers now.

W-M-C’s Kurt Bauer says the good news, is that almost all manufacturers in Wisconsin are hiring.
