The newest semi-annual MFBI, or Michigan Future Business Index, has been released. This is sponsored by the Accident Fund Insurance Company of America, conducted by Phoenix Innovate, and presented by Michigan Business Network.
Michael Britt, CPCU, CIC, President, Accident Fund Insurance Company of America, Lansing, MI, reviews some of the highlights from this latest survey. He speaks to the larger participation this time around, growth seen in sales across Michigan, where profits are going, and then addresses the continuing #1 challenge facing business currently, the talent gap in matching up qualified candidates with the jobs that are open. Many trends are heading in a good direction, including capital investment, which is finally growing.
