The Center on Wisconsin Strategy (COWS) is a "think-and-do tank" dedicated to improving economic performance and living standards in the state of Wisconsin and nationally. From its home base at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, COWS works in three main areas:

• Research on job quality and income, budget and tax issues, economic development, and workforce development.
• Outreach to keep the public informed about COWS activities, and to weigh in on important public policy debates.
• Field projects that demonstrate how employers, unions, community-based organizations, and the public sector can work together to create strong local and regional economies and high-quality jobs.
