You are probably right, I'm a bit removed from that age (unfortunately). Plus I imagine we are talking about people with secondary degrees and then we are looking at 24-25 years old. There's a difference, you're right. How do you make Michigan a place where people want to raise their family?

Also, how do you directly market jobs to people that have a previous relationship with the state, former Michigan/Michigan State grads, people that grew up in the state and studied elsewhere? How do you directly communicate to these people and woo them back? I agree with cliffelam that Michigan needs to be attracting "new" talent in order to win but any business will tell you that it's FAR more expensive getting new business than it is to retain business. 80/20 rule? 80% retention of former current and former michiganders and 20% people new to the state.... ?

Good luck jstasik, it's a noble goal. Let me know if I can help.

And... GO BLUE!
