Issue Position: Create Opportunities for Better Paying Jobs

Issue Position

While Michigan's unemployment rate has decreased, large gaps in our workforce remain, particularly in the area of skilled trades and technological areas, such as cybersecurity. Placing emphasis on educational and training/apprenticeship opportunities for young people, as well as those already in the workforce, to fill workforce gaps will help ensure our residents can see their future here in Michigan. Providing these crucial opportunities today will also ensure Michigan has a strong middle class and economy in the future.
