Report: Maine's Economy Improving in Some Areas, but Challenges Remain
02/26/2010   Reported By: Irwin Gratz

Mainers' per capita personal income is rising faster than the national average and a higher percentage of Mainers are covered by health insurance than people in the U.S. as a whole. Those are the "gold star" categories in this year's "Measures of Growth" report prepared by the Maine Development Foundation for the Maine Economic Growth Council. But, as project manage Ed Cervone told MPBN's Irwin Gratz, there are "red flags" too: things the state has to improve upon.
