They will learn how to problem solve, and do so considering the end result and how it will affect ... |

1) Help the schools to balance their budgets by offering incentives to help them pay for more energy efficient heating and cooling systems. This will lower their costs while at the same time create jobs for the large skilled labor force in michigan. This in turn becomes beneficial to buisness because workers will then be more open to spend some of their earnings in our economy. Make sure the contr ... |

Michigan should be working to convince companies that move to China, Taiwan, Mexico, India etc; to take advantage of cheap labor to come and manufacture thir products. MI has skilled work force, 75% of this nation`s fresh water is located on international waterway. Manufacturing is something MI is good at, no matter what the product. |
