Quote of the Day
“It's our hope that businesses in Massachusetts, including members of this chamber, will share in the responsibility of training, and eventually hiring, folks who are currently relying on the shelter system," Mariano said. "We've heard strongly from many businesses in Massachusetts on the problems with getting employees. We have a willing workforce walking across the border to get to this country. We need to take advantage of that.”
Mariano appealed to business leaders to partner with the state and hire the influx of migrants who have inundated the state's emergency assistance family shelter system.
