DataWatch: Wisconsin hasn’t raised its minimum wage for 17 years. What does that mean for workers and the economy?
With its minimum wage frozen at $7.25 since 2009, Wisconsin lags most states, shrinking the buying power of the lowest-wage workers while fueling debate over economic trade-offs.

Of the 35 states with wrongful conviction compensation laws, Wisconsin is stingier than most. The state on average pays about $4,200 per year of wrongful incarceration to those who filed and received compensation.
DataWatch: Wisconsin gives little compensation to wrongfully convicted
The state typically caps payouts at $5,000 per year, totaling no more than $25,000. Many get less, and others don’t apply.
