Governor Gretchen Whitmer will give her State of the State address Wednesday, and it’s a safe bet she will talk about the pandemic’s effects on Michigan. One thing state Representative Beth Griffin of Mattawan is hoping to hear about is rebuilding the economy and job training.
“The talent shortage, and I would argue, the talent crisis now demands attention and leadership so that we can move out of the lockdowns and into economic security again,” Griffin said.
Griffin says that post pandemic world is approaching.
“The state has to look at how can we in a healthy way and in a safe way move forward? And part of that is understanding that workforce development is and has always been a part of what makes a state successful.”
Griffin hopes the governor will also discuss creating new opportunities for Michigan workers. News Talk Sports WSJM will be carrying the State of the State tonight at 7.
