Wisconsin’s Domestic “Brain Drain” Among the Worst in the Nation

“Brain drain” is the phenomenon of early career, college educated adults leaving the state where they were born for jobs in another state. A recent study published by the Wisconsin Policy Forum (WPF) found that Wisconsin’s brain drain ranks second-to-last in the nation. To break down the findings, host Douglas Haynes speaks with WPF’s research director Joe Peterangelo and communications director and policy researcher Mark Sommerhauser.
