Monday, March 7th, 2022 -- 9:00 AM

(WBAY) Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers has signed into law a bill that allows the Department of Corrections to use billboards to recruit employees.

Prior to today, the DOC was the only state agency not allowed to recruit by billboard. The DOC has been facing a staffing crisis and lawmakers behind the bill hope billboards will help bring in new employees.

The agency has also turned to flying “now hiring” flags and airing radio, television and social media ads.
