MI New Economy has successfully built on the state’s economic momentum by making progress towards aggressive goals for state government through transformative proposals. Governor Whitmer’s economic initiatives have taken advantage of the once-in-a-generation opportunity to remake Michigan's future to grow the middle class, support small businesses, and invest in our communities. The plan has resulted in better jobs, better skills, more people re-entering the labor force and more people staying in Michigan and moving to Michigan. It has resulted in a new economy, a better economy, one that expands economic opportunity and prosperity for all.
Gov. Whitmer joined the Michigan Department of Labor and Economic Opportunity (LEO) to celebrate the one-year anniversary of MI New Economy, her vision to expand economic opportunity and prosperity for all Michiganders. The plan, unveiled last year at the Mackinac Policy Conference, sets ambitious, achievable metrics to grow the middle class, support businesses, and invest in communities.
