Conduent Lays Off 6 Wisconsin Remote Workers as State Records Only June Layoff Notice

2 articles · Updated · Milwaukee Journal Sentinel · Jul 1

Summary

  • Conduent notified Wisconsin on June 26 that it was laying off six remote workers, the only layoff notice the state received in June.
  • That marked a sharp drop from May, when four companies filed notices covering 311 workers; Wisconsin last had a month with no reported layoffs in June 2023.
  • State filings capture only some job cuts because notice rules generally apply to larger layoffs or facility closures, leaving some reductions unreported.
  • Wisconsin's labor market still strengthened in May: unemployment edged down to 3.4%, total employment rose by more than 4,000, and manufacturing, mining, logging and construction added about 5,100 jobs.
