The Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce is pushing local businesses to increase the number of minority employees it has, from top to bottom.

They’re able to create better products, have a better market share, better profits across the board.”
Biddle says 104 businesses have signed the MMAC pledge to increase diversity in their workplace.
