“As Governor, it is my responsibility to give students every opportunit...” — Mike Parson Quote

“As Governor, it is my responsibility to give students every opportunity to be fully equipped with the skills needed to enter Missouri's workforce. It is also important that, when needed, Missourians receive the proper treatment services necessary to gain employment or further their education.”

“The COVID-19 crisis has severely impacted Missouri businesses. However, this challenge has not stopped them from stepping up and finding new ways to serve Missourians.”

“The economic importance of maintaining strong trade relations with our two closest neighbors cannot be overstated. Any decision negatively affecting the free flow of trade from Missouri to Canada and Mexico would have undesirable economic consequences. Thousands of jobs and billions of dollars are at stake.”

“The American dream will never be lost.”

“As a farmer, I understand firsthand the challenging circumstances the COVID-19 pandemic has created within our agriculture community.”

“For many young people, the minimum wage is a stepping stone to higher employment levels.”

“I think most polling shows that most Americans agree that when it comes to employment that, you know, people should be really judged by, you know, their competency and not, you know, who it is they choose to love or who they're in a relationship with.”

“Thrust into single motherhood, my mom worked multiple hourly jobs to support my sisters and me. She couldn't find full-time employment that included benefits until I was 13-years-old.”

“I think anyone that's running for office really should focus on the education for our youth, creating more jobs and employment, and really focusing on our next generation.”

“I wasn't a shrinking violet when I joined Fox News. I didn't have any power at Fox - I had no power in the TV industry - but I had been a lawyer for nine years who had practiced employment law.”

“The employment laws are completely unrealistic. You cannot overcome that in only 10 years. It will take at least another generation before young people are properly qualified.”
