MILWAUKEE - A new study raises concerns about Wisconsin's long-term economy.
Part of the problem is the state's larger industries sell older technologies that are being overtaken by newer advances.
Three of the state's five largest sectors have to do with paper and printing.
That could be a concern as the nation shifts its demand toward digital media.
The study also says Wisconsin's main industries aren't as globally minded as are manufacturers elsewhere.
