In 1967, Judy Haag took an entry-level state job and started living the Dane County dream of government service. Decades later, she helped the state automate and eliminate the very clerk’s job she was first hired to fill – and some 80 more just like it.
Haag’s nearly 40-year career shows both the opportunity that government jobs can offer and the way that those jobs – the core of this region’s economy – are no longer the force they once were.
