A second railroad depot, constructed in 1867, still stands.

Between 1850 and World War II, the character of the Town of Brookfield changed little. Brookfield remained a quiet agricultural community. This quiet, rural atmos- phere attracted one notorious resident as Al Capone established a residence and distillery on Brookfield Road. The 1920's also brought the first suburban devel- opment to Brookfield. Kinsey's Garvendale, a residential subdivision, was platted in 1928 in the southeast corner of the Town. The location was chosen to be convenient to the industrial areas in nearby West Allis. The great depression, which started a year later, curtailed the de- mand for new housing, and the early subdivisions devel- oped slowly.

The City‟s residential labor force has grown from 12,600 in 1970 to over 19,000 in 2010. In 2010 the unemployment rate in Brookfield stood at 5.2%. In comparison, Wisconsin posted an 7.1% unemployment rate in 2010, with the met- ro area reporting 6.9% and the nation 8.5%. *State of Wisconsin, Local Area Unemployment Statistics, December 2011

OCCUPATIONAL DISTRIBUTION Brookfield‟s evolving labor force has allowed it to remain competitive in attracting both residents and businesses. Fig- ure 3 gives a detailed occupational distribution of Brookfield‟s resident labor force for 2010. Two major occupational categories, Managerial and Business, and Sales and Office, account for nearly 80% of the resident's occupations. None of the other categories claim more than 8.0% of the resident labor force. As many City residents work in other municipalities, these figures do not necessarily represent the mixture of jobs in the City of Brookfield. Information on Brookfield's employers and jobs can be found in the Business Climate section.
