Yes, using either the chained CPI or the Central-North East CPI:
Figure 1: Wisconsin’s total wages and salaries were deflated using the chained CPI (blue), using the official CPI for the Northeast Central subregion, adjusted using -13 (tan), all in billions of 2023 dollars at annual rates. The NBER has defined the peak to trough dates of the national recession in gray. Source: BLS, BEA, NBER and author’s calculations.
The picture does not really change if we express it in per capita terms:
Figure 2: Wisconsin’s total per capita wages and salaries were deflated using the chained CPI (blue), using the official CPI for the East-North Central subregion, adjusted using 13 (tan), all in 2023 dollars at annual rates. The NBER has defined the peak to trough dates of the national recession in gray. Source: BLS, BEA, NBER and author’s calculations.
Note that this is a percentage calculation per capita, as opposed to the JEC-Republican per “household” dollar calculation. As discussed in this jobThe Northeast Central and JEC-Republican calculation purportedly for Wisconsin’s cumulative change matches quite closely in March 2024, compared to January 2021.
