Lt. Gov. Burt Jones issued a statement on the passage of four bills that promote work force development and enable more Georgians to become prepared to enter the work force.
“One of the biggest inhibitors of business development in our state has been the shortage of labor,” Jones said. “We understand that we cannot import labor, and we must do everything we can to develop a willing and able work force to meet the labor needs of our business community right here in Georgia. A key piece of this is helping to enhance HBCUs’ work force and economic efforts. This legislative initiative is a priority of mine so that we can empower Georgia businesses and keep Georgia the No. 1 state in which to do business.”
