Unfortunately, Wisconsin workers won’t get any of those benefits, as Wisconsin wasn’t among the states that increased their minimum wages. Wisconsin’s minimum wage is still stuck at $7.25, far below the $12 to $14 that some states now set as the minimum. Wisconsin’s minimum wage was last raised in 2009 – over a decade ago – and has lost about 16% of its purchasing power since then. That’s a difference of roughly $2,400 per year. 

Workers should earn enough to support their families. But Wisconsin’s low minimum wage means that a full-time, full-year worker in Wisconsin can earn as little $14,500 per year. For a single parent, working at the Wisconsin minimum wage puts them below the poverty line and unable to meet their family’s basic needs.
