Some Wisconsin Businesses Won’t Survive

Nine months into the coronavirus pandemic and some Wisconsin businesses are barely hanging on. The October coronavirus business and economic impact survey by researchers at UW-Oshkosh illustrates how critical the situation is. Almost 10 percent of Wisconsin businesses say they have no more than 3 months before they’ll have to close for good. Poll-takers are finding a sharp decrease in business confidence in the state. They say they don’t expect any more federal help and figure the pandemic will continue to impact day-to-day operations for any where from nine months to a full year.
