| Arkansas Jobs, a General Statement |
Mike Beebe's economic development plan will make Arkansas a full partner in the global economy of the 21st century. The plan is based on an understanding that two key ingredients in a high performing 21st century economy are an increasingly skilled work force and a diversified economy supported by foundation industries enhanced with world-class research and development. The success of the Arkansas economy is tied to education, work-force development, home grown enterprise support and development like never before. Arkansas cannot expect to solve its economic problems by nothing more than recruiting industry on the promise of cheap labor. Likewise, Arkansas cannot afford to simply engage in "bidding wars" with other states or nations for desirable industries. Instead, Arkansas must balance its efforts to recruit industry with an aggressive commitment to the development of companies within the state. Arkansas must marshal its limited resources and direct them towards those efforts that will yield the best return on investment for the state. Arkansas must not rely on short-term fixes to build Arkansas' communities. Rather, we must develop a pipeline of entrepreneurs, new industries, and skilled workers necessary to implement a long-term vision of what the Arkansas economy can be.
