The Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development recently released the December 2011 unemployment rates for counties in Wisconsin and Calumet County has the third-lowest unemployment rate in the state.
Calumet County's unemployment rate was 5.0%, just behind La Crosse County with 4.9% and Dane County with 4.4%. The State of Wisconsin's unemployment rate for December 2011 was 7.1%. Calumet County's low unemployment rate may be attributed to the county's strong agricultural and manufacturing base that provides stable employment for the county. Currently, Calumet County is working to enhance economic development efforts with the guidance of their Calumet County Economic Development Strategic Plan. The plan recommends developing or joining an economic development corporation to create a public/private organization. Specifically, the county is looking at joining the Economic Development Corporation (EDC) of Manitowoc County. If you own a business in Calumet County and are interested in supporting such an effort, please contact EDC Executive Director, Connie Loden, to discuss further details and funding contributions.
