A new study shows wages in Wisconsin are up and unemployment is down. It�s good news for working families, but the figures from the Center On Wisconsin Strategy shows storm clouds on the economic horizon.

Every two years the Center on Wisconsin Strategy or ââ?¬Å?COWS,ââ?¬Â looks at the median hourly wage for Wisconsin workers. This year, the state wage figure is up to $14.62 an hour. That means half the employed population earns more than that and half earns less.

As you step in the door of a retail store ââ?¬â? whether it sells Gucci handbags, jeans for teens or hardware ââ?¬â? you’re being lured to shop and spend in ways so subtle you probably don’t know what’s happening to you.Or your wallet. Retailers know how you’ll approach a store, where you’ll hesitate, how to affect your mood, how to pique your desires, how to play to your aspirations. Everything in a store, from lighting to floor color to music to how goods are displayed, is meant in some way to get you to not just shop, but spend.
