Towns here feel small (in a good way), but that doesn’t mean you’ll be short on amenities. The school systems are great. There’s less traffic and congestion. And you won’t believe the nature out here. If you like outdoor recreation, you’re in the right place.

Largest Northwest Wisconsin Employers
Bring your passions and talents to a new opportunity. You’ll find manufacturing jobs, medical careers, government roles, and more. These companies are the largest employers in the region.
“I grew up in northern Wisconsin. After spending almost a decade away from the area, with a new appreciation, I chose to move back to Rusk County. Today we have a flourishing business, only because of the selflessness of the culture and the desire to see others succeed. That, in conjunction with affordable infrastructure, makes it the perfect place for our businesses to call home.”
Kyle Czekalski, Centerline Architectural Supply, Weyerhaeuser

"Wisconsin has an amazing geography for these outdoor timber sports. Whether it’s our waterways or our beautiful forests, it enables us to live this outdoor, active lifestyle."
