Measure Passed By Senate Will Assist Employer
The Wisconsin senate unanimously approved a bill changing unemployment compensation to reduce employer costs by about 750000 dollars annually beginning next year. The measure lowers employer contributions to the reserve fund, taxing only the first 3000 dollars of wages, with further savings for high rate employers. It would cut rates for hundreds of plants from 32 to 20 percent and increase total benefits by 150000 dollars annually. An amendment would exempt part time athletes from unemployment insurance.
