MADISON (WKOW) -- Gov. Tony Evers has called a special session to address the "unmitigated crisis" of Wisconsin's workforce challenges.

At the core of the special session is to help working families by stabilizing the state's childcare industry and make it affordable, as well as and expanding paid family leave.


'Child care is foundational': Providers, parents weigh in on defunding of Child Care Counts Program



Evers also noted that despite the state's historically low unemployment, Wisconsin employers -- ranging from schools and small businesses to farmers and healthcare sectors -- are still struggling to fill positions.

With this in mind, Evers is proposing investments in higher education and recruiting workers for high-demand workforce sectors to fill these roles.................

I have been out of the workforce since COVID began because family members old and young need care and there are no providers available. Anywhere. Let alone ones determined to protect at risk individuals from CORONAVIRUS.

Hell, if there were a program to help, I might consider starting one that would allow me to take a couple of other kids, too.
