(Bob Hague, Wisconsin Radio Network) Wisconsin has more people working than at any time in its history.

According to Bob Hague with the Wisconsin Radio Network, Department of Workforce Development section chief Scott Hodek says the continued low unemployment rate is good for workers, because there are plenty of positions open that may have better pay and benefits than your current job.

Over 3 million people are now employed in the state, and the unemployment level is at 2 point 9 percent, about a point below the national average.
