Rep. Roberts talks working families

Over the summer, State Representative Mary Helen Roberts traveled to Denver to attend the National Conference of State Legislature’s Opportunities for Working Families Leadership Forum.

During the forum, four legislators from three states were interviewed on the challenges facing working families. Rep. Roberts, former vice chair of the Early Learning and Human Services Committee, weighed in on job creation and workforce development.

“We know there are jobs available, but often times people don’t know they are available or how to apply… We’ve been communicating with people looking for work and the employers trying to make sure those match up.”
