"We know that roughly two-thirds of new jobs in the next decade will require education beyond high school," Burke said in a statement. "That's why making higher education and skills training more affordable has to be one of our highest priorities. Wisconsin students have everything it takes to compete for the jobs of the future, but we need to be doing everything we can to reduce the financial burden that they graduate with. More money in the pockets of Wisconsin's students and families also means more money being spent in Wisconsin's economy."
