“There will be good jobs. Its our responsibility as parents to raise good citizens...unfortunately, the newer workforce seems to think entitlement is the norm due to it being the norm in their homes. ”
Jessica, St. Cloud on April 6“Yes, but MN must not take that for granted. We need to make sure the climate is right for job creation in the state.”
Tom, Inver Grove Heights on November 13“Yes, but the government must adjust to the changing economy and allow expansion, technology and reserach and development to flourish”
Tony, Maplewood on October 26“I hope so, but policy makers will have to change their attitude about investment and the cost of doing business in MN. If companies can't grow and won't stay, their jobs will go with them. Past success is no guarantee to future success.”
Sanjay, North Oaks on October 26“Yes - but policymakers must create a climate where employers want to create the next generation of "good" jobs in Minnesota. My generation is lucky because our parents understood the value of a thriving private sector & used its benefits to provide public services. We need to build on that model for my kids' success. ”
Mike, Maplewood on October 26“Absolutely! However, my idea of a "good job" and my kids' idea of a "good job" may not agree. The challenge for business is to be aware of what the workforce is looking for and not be afraid to change and adapt as our community does!”
