Lindsay Midtbo, a UW-Madison senior, is looking for a job â?? but not in Wisconsin.
“I was born here, I’ve been here forever,” Midtbo, a Milwaukee native, said. “I want something new and different.”
Midtbo, an economics major who graduates this month, is hoping for a job in Chicago. The city offers more financial services jobs and a change of pace, she said.
Midtbo isn’t alone in wanting to leave the state. Each year, about half of UW-Madison’s recent graduates leave Wisconsin for Illinois, Minnesota and other states.
