Governor Mike Parson says improving Missouri’s workforce skills and expanding the state’s child care options are two keys to maintaining a strong state economy.

Parson says state government can play a role in enticing residents to re-enter the workforce.

Parson is disappointed the legislature failed to pass a child care tax credit bill pushed by St. Joseph state Representative Brenda Shields.

He adds the legislature is working to increase workforce skills by investing in the state’s technical schools.
