Gov. Whitmer Statement on Another Strong Jobs Report

Press Release

Location: Lansing, Mich
Issues: Employment and Affirmative Action Economy and Fiscal

"Michigan's strong economic momentum continues.

More Michiganders are working month after month. Our unemployment rate remains at its lowest level in 23 years, our labor force participation rate increased yet again, and the economy added 63,000 jobs year over year.

Michiganders are getting to work to provide for themselves and their families. Our responsibility is to have their backs. That's why I recently signed a bipartisan budget making record investments in workforce programs, powering economic development, building housing, and lowering costs of school meals, housing, pre-K, higher education, and more.

Let's keep growing our economy to help anyone "make it' in Michigan."
