Governor Jim Doyle's "Grow Wisconsin" plan included the creation of the Office of Economic Advisors. The Office assists economic data users to better understand the relationships between labor markets and other economic and demographic specifics. The Office helps users interpret labor force data and focus on the issues and trends influencing employment growth in the State of Wisconsin.
Wisconsin's GROW Regional Metrics Benchmarks identify and measure economic development for Wisconsin's seven GROW regions.
Statewide and regional analyses on current issues coupled with easy to use data tools, all at your fingertips.
The office publishes monthly and annual reports that provide an overview of county and state trends. These include the Data Dashboard, County Workforce Profiles, and state and regional Employment Projections and are among the collections found in OEA Products.
