On June 4, 2019, the U.S Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s Hiring Our Heroes, in collaboration with the Wisconsin Department of Workforce Development and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce, launched the Military Spouse Economic Empowerment Zone (MSEEZ) in the state of Wisconsin.

Established to connect military spouses with companies committed to hiring, MSEEZ are collaborative efforts among the local business, civic, and military communities that establish employment networks in municipalities around the country.
