MILWAUKEE (SPECTRUM NEWS) -- We continue to get answers on our economy and how Wisconsin is being impacted by the coronavirus.

Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation Secretary and CEO Missy Hughes sat down with us to talk about several topics that range from helping small business owners to what are essential employees.

Hughes says the Safer at Home order is complex, but the more business owners become familiar with it, the more they will understand the situation.

“Several small business owners are asking themselves: am I essential? To help answer that question and several other questions the WEDC has published a list of essential businesses during this Safer at Home order,” said Hughes. 

Right now the WEDC website has information and resources available for businesses affected by COVID-19. Small business owners are encouraged to work with their lenders to address the financial challenges they are facing as a result of COVID-19.
