Maj. Gen. Don Dunbar, Wisconsin adjutant general, speaks about the Wisconsin National Guard initiative, Wisconsin Employment Resources Connection (WERC) to address unemployment among its service members during a March 19 press conference at Joint Force Headquarters in Madison, Wis. Gov. Scott Walker and the heads of the state departments of Veterans Affairs, Military Affairs and Workforce Development were on hand to celebrate the 500th successful job placement by WERC. When WERC was founded, unemployment among Wisconsin Army National Guard members was above 10 percent, and nearly 7 percent in the Wisconsin Air National Guard. Today, the unemployment rate in both the Wisconsin Army and Air National Guard is estimated at 5.1 percent, below the state unemployment average. (Wisconsin National Guard photo by Vaughn R. Larson)
