Forward Analytics looked at six indicators between 2017 and 2024, and Wisconsin was behind in labor force participation, real gross domestic product, population and household income.
Wisconsin, though still behind many states, was still growing as far as population, GDP and the labor force, while the poverty rate is declining. The growth is just growing at a much slower pace than most other states
As far as the real GDP, Wisconsin ranked 38th nationally.
