He expressed the federal government's commitment to helping us move through these tough times. On Monday, U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis will be here talking about a sector where jobs are growing. Solis will join Van Jones, the president's green jobs adviser, at Michigan's first-ever Green Today, Jobs Tomorrow conference. The president's plan to build a clean, renewable energy economy that will create jobs and break America's dependence on foreign oil presents enormous opportunities for Michigan. In fact, our green economy is already booming. According to a report being released Monday that was commissioned by the Michigan Department of Energy, Labor and Economic Growth, Michigan businesses have already created at least 109,000 private sector green jobs. http://www.michigan.gov./documents/gov/Gov196Full_277719_7.mp3
