Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann: Whistle While You Work
Lt. Governor Delbert Hosemann: Whistle While You Work
This week, we took the podcast on the road, recording in the beautiful Mississippi State Capitol. Host Grant Callen sat down with Mississippi’s 33rd Lieutenant Governor Delbert Hosemann to discuss all things related to work and the Magnolia State’s economy. Historic low employment, record private capital investment, billions paid off in debt, and a fully-funded rainy day fund are all worthy of celebration. Yet, despite all this growth, too many Mississippians still aren’t working, as indicated by the nation’s lowest labor force participation rate. Hosemann shared his ideas on causes and potential policy solutions that ran the gamut from education, to criminal justice reforms, to tax policy changes, and more. Tune in!
