An economist says the state's economy is showing mixed signals...slow job growth yet relatively low unemployment in some areas.
David Clark is an economist for the Wisconsin Realtors Association. He says job growth has been slow...
"....job growth has been pretty minimal in some months compared to the previous year they've actually seen a slight decline...."
But unemployment in many parts of the state is around four percent. That figure, Clark says, is near a point where economists say we're near full employment. He says because of other factors it is rare that unemployment will go much below the 4 percent mark.
Clark speaks monthly with WXPR about recent real estate numbers.
