Get It Now. History of Wisconsin Labor Laws The current Wisconsin minimum wage rate has been in effect since , when the federal rate increased. Amy Loudenbeck said that the bill would help small businesses during the busy summer months. As a result, businesses often hire young people, they said.
Felzkowski and Loudenbeck said that the current legislation meant some businesses choose to close early because their young staff can't work late at night. The Wisconsin Restaurant Association said in June that it supported extending workers hours for teens to help solve staffing issues. But the fact the bill wouldn't cover companies with large turnovers, or workers who take credit-card payments, was a potential problem that made the bill "very complex from a compliance standpoint," Hillmer said.
Wisconsin currently has nearly 3 million people in employment, per preliminary August data from the US Bureau of Labor Statistics — roughly as many as it did before the pandemic hit. But businesses across the state still say they're struggling to find enough workers. The bill was introduced in April, when the US labor shortage wasn't as bad as it is now. The bill wasn't specifically aimed at the labor shortage.
Some businesses have tapped into younger workers to plug their labor shortage, like a McDonald's in Oregon that's been recruiting year-olds. Have you been impacted by the labor shortage?
