“Small business owners on Thumbtack have consistently told us that they welcome support from their governments but are frequently frustrated by unnecessary bureaucratic obstacles,” said Jon Lieber, Chief Economist of Thumbtack. “Wisconsin’s small businesses report that the state can be a very challenging place to hire new workers and that they aren’t aware of many opportunities for training offered by their communities.”

“The state sets regulations that sometimes conflict with how cities interpret them,” commented a handyman in Milwaukee. “It makes following the rules very difficult.”
