Key takeaways from How Education and Training Affect the Economy

- Differences in training levels is a significant factor that separates developed and developing countries.
- An economy's productivity rises as the number of educated workers increases since skilled workers can perform tasks more efficiently.

Someone pointed this out to me this morning.

Interesting stuff that's not in the show
Every Michigander deserves to feel safe in their community. That's why I proposed the $75 million MI Safe Communities plan to reduce crime and keep families safe. I'm continuing to meet with law enforcement, community leaders, and others on the ground. pic.twitter.com/m49d8fpWnN

The water—and humanitarian—crisis communities of color like Benton Harbor face need urgent action. Folks are living in fear of children brushing their teeth, waiting hours for bottled water. We must pass #BuildBackBetter and #GetTheLeadOut everywhere. https://t.co/1YPhrSbR5U

Rep @RachelHood76 testifies in front of the House Energy Committee on community solar expansion legislation.
“It’s rare to find a truly-bipartisan issue that is a win-win for all parties involved, but that’s what community solar is.” #MICommunitySolar pic.twitter.com/lR9SCp0JzQ

In these polarized times, I think it’s important to acknowledge that bipartisanship is still going on — you just may not hear about it.
This past week, 28 of my provisions were passed in the House as part of the NDAA, and 27 of them were bipartisan. pic.twitter.com/EYK78GdmL0

Every Member of Congress who was involved should be expelled.
Every staffer who was involved should be fired.
Every lawyer who was involved should be disbarred.https://t.co/hsUqo9oFi6

Interestingly, Secure MI Vote, the group pushing to institute new voter ID requirements, didn't have to file a fundraising disclosure Monday.
The Secretary of State's office chose to waive the filing on Monday because the group has to file a disclosure on Nov. 2.

A little scoop with @daithaigilbert:
At this weekend's QAnon conference, a Nevada secretary of state candidate announced he & three Trump-endorsed candidates have formed a coalition to “control the election system.”
Mike Lindell is involved.https://t.co/Yp71NBFdMf

The 1776 Commission report? Incredibly racist.
That's why we're suing for records about how the Trump admin apparently weaponized the Education Department to advance Trump's political agenda. https://t.co/2dM84915nA
