The Week Ahead (Labor Day Edition)

Last week Neil Bergsman spoke to the Maryland Gazette about the state's work force and the woeful state of MD information technology compared to the private sector. You can find links to this and all our media appearances on our press page. On Wednesday I blogged about unemployment in Maryland's metro areas; while Thursday saw Neil's post about the FY 2012 closeout report, in which revenues exceeded estimates by $230 million.

Also last week our parent organization, Maryland Nonprofits, announced the appointment of Greg Cantori as President and CEO. You can read the full press release here.
