2020 IN Gubernatorial race: on Jobs


Woody Myers: Diversify our economy, improve business environment

While Indiana's economy is growing and more people are working, not everyone is prospering.

I'll immediately work to diversify our economy so we're less susceptible to economic downturns and labor force disruptions. I'll implement policies to improve our business environment, with a focus on recruiting businesses that bring good-paying jobs to all parts of the state and supporting existing businesses with retention policies that help them remain competitive.

Woody Myers: We deserve best schools, health care, state creating jobs

Myers said, "I learned very early in my career that the people with the best health were the people who got the best health care. The people with the best insurance are the people with the best jobs. And the people with the best jobs are the people with the best education. All Hoosiers deserve the best schools, the best health care and a state that is creating jobs and opportunities for workers and their families faster than wages are rising."
