Compete to Win: Michiganโ€™s Path to Top 10

The numbers are startling: According to Business Leaders for Michiganโ€™s latest benchmarking, Michigan is ranked 31st of 50 states, down two spots since 2021. Our labor force participation rate is 39th and our educational attainment rank is 37th. But the stateโ€™s business roundtable has a plan to change the trajectory. โ€œCompete to Win: Michiganโ€™s Path to Top 10,โ€ lays out recommendations for systemic change to strengthen Michiganโ€™s fundamentals in education, economic development, job creation, infrastructure and population growth. Hear from Business Leaders for Michigan President and CEO Jeff Donofrio on Monday, Nov. 6, on what it will take to make Michigan a Top 10 state. After his presentation, Donofrio will moderate a panel discussion with:
