Educate Maine, the Maine State Chamber of Commerce, and the Maine Development Foundation are proud to present you with Making Maine Work: Critical Investments for the Maine Economy 2018. The goals and recommendations within this report were informed by over 1,000 respondents to a survey of employers and business leaders statewide.  That survey asked them to identify the top priorities for the next governor and legislative leadership.  It is not an exhaustive list of issues - it is a focused list of the top priorities for Maine employers.  It is no surprise that workforce - skills and size - were at the top of that list! To view the full report and executive summary please use this link:  Making Maine Work.
