A large number of Milwaukee business operators are upset with the Brew City’s business climate – with 62 percent of respondents stating they have serious problems with regulation – according to a new report from the Lakeland College Center for Economic Education.
The survey says the high cost of complying with government rules, inconvenience, and the perception that local governments are not helpful to business all threaten Milwaukee’s competitiveness when compared to four other cities.
According to the study, almost 19 percent of the Milwaukee respondents said they had considered moving their companies because of the city’s unfavorable regulatory climate. That was nearly 5 percentage points higher than survey results for Green Bay; 9 percent greater for the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill region in North Carolina; and 10 percent higher than Denver, Colo.
