The unfilled jobs report this fall indicated a record number of unfilled positions in the state at that time of year. Is there a similar report in WI that tracks unfilled positions? If there is, is it currently similar to the number of unfilled jobs in MN? The MN report is released quarterly so we should get an updated number around the start of the new year. The reason I'm asking is because I'd like to know if the number in both states is similar for the same reason or could it be similar because WI is not bringing in new residents and is actually losing more jobs with lack of other jobs for those losing positions vs MN possibly adding more residents that initially not working and finding work and being replaced by more new unemployed residents because the number of unfilled jobs should be falling instead of rising right?Jake Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609331924008419458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3426800777521979578.post-33261548283313153962019-11-16T10:25:18.478-06:002019-11-16T10:25:18.478-06:00Could be monthly variation.

Minnesota had largely maxed out in recent months on jobs as well, but their unemployment rate has leveled out in recent months while Wisconsin has now passed them. <br /><br /> Next week has a new QCEW report through June 2019, and both states were reported to be stalling out on the monthly reports at that time.

It seems odd that two states side by side would have completely opposite results. They appear to have nothing in common when the results are this opposite. Any thoughts??Jake Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03609331924008419458noreply@blogger.com
