Secretary of Commerce Stefan Pryor sat down with Crain’s Boston on shrinking the state’s unemployment rate, improving infrastructure, and investing in Rhode Island’s economic future.
“Rhode Island has been making a lot of progress. Rhode Island employers believe there to be positive momentum in our economy, and that sense of confidence is inspiring employers to find ways to expand their employment. I would point to these areas: taxation, fiscal stability, targeted investments and infrastructure”
