Focus on Wisconsin's 1 Percent

Policy Areas Economic Justice
Income inequality is expanding in Wisconsin, with the top 1% capturing a significant share of income growth. This mirrors broader economic trends and national changes in workers' rights, education, technology, and trade. Policymakers should invest in workforce education, support working families, raise the minimum wage, ensure access to affordable healthcare, reform state taxes, and ease driving suspensions. Local elected officials should advocate at the state and federal levels to prevent further growth in income inequality.
