Wisconsin September Jobless Rates Fell in All 72 Counties as Yearly Rates Rose Across 13 Metros

September estimates showed unemployment rates fell from August in all 13 Wisconsin metro areas, all 35 largest cities and all 72 counties.
Those declines were reported on a non-seasonally adjusted basis by the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development using preliminary U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates.
Over 12 months, the picture weakened: unemployment rates rose in all 13 metro regions, while 29 of the 35 largest cities and 61 counties posted increases from September 2025.
Sheboygan was the only major city with a year-over-year decline, and just four counties improved, underscoring that the monthly drop did not reverse broader labor-market softening.
