Issue Position: Jobs

Issue Position

Our graduates must have employment opportunities in Maine if we expect them to stay and raise their families here. Creating meaningful job opportunities in Maine will require collaboration between government and employers to facilitate job creation and capitalize on the values that make Maine a special place to work and invest. We should promote new clean technologies, like renewable power, that create good paying local jobs. And we should work with employers to identify the obstacles to growth or investment they see in Maine and eliminate those obstacles where we can do so while still protecting our citizens and our environment.
