cheese, cranberries and beer, the backbone of New North's thriving

in the nation for the shortest travel-to-work time at only 20.4 minutes
on average.

plenty of employers looking for you. The companies that call this region
home lead the nation in work environment, benefi ts, work life balance

Wisconsin boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country,
and that the Midwest work ethic is no mystique — it's the driving force
behind the New North region's thriving, global economy.
" I changed jobs two
years after I moved here,
and was excited to see
the variety of options
within my fi eld without
needing to move. I've
had the opportunity to
grow professionally,
network, and make
friends by participating
in young professionals'
organizations."
