Montana Governor Steve Bullock’s 2018-2019 NGA Chair’s Initiative
The world of work is transforming at a rapid pace. Changes in technology, skills requirements, work relationships and demographics threaten to leave many workers behind. The effects of these trends are not evenly distributed. The goal of Montana Governor Steve Bullock’s 2018-2019 NGA Chair’s Initiative Good Jobs for All Americans is to demonstrate the vital role that governors play in solving these challenges and to highlight innovative actions governors can take to connect workers to good-paying careers both today and in the future.
