"Washington state faces an important challenge. We need to work even harder to make the changes necessary to make our state more competitive, or we will lose more family wage jobs in today's highly competitive global economy.

We know what the most pressing problems are when it comes to improving our state's economic climate. All of us -- government, business and labor

-- must join together to retool our economy and create more good jobs. We are committed to renewing our efforts to make Washington attractive to employers."

Steve Mullin, President, Washington Roundtable

The Washington Roundtable is a nonprofit, public policy organization comprised of chief executives representing major private sector employers throughout Washington state. Since 1983, the Roundtable's CEO members have worked to create positive change on critical policy issues that foster economic growth, generate jobs and improve quality of life for Washingtonians.
