Today is the first day of school for students in most of Maryland's public schools (17 of the 24 school systems). Prince George's, Frederick, Calvert, St. Mary's, Washington and Cecil counties started last week. Talbot begins Tuesday. (Some individual schools and grades have different start dates. Check with your local school system for more information.)On the subject of schools, we blogged about the connection between educational attainment and economic growth. If you want a state economy with high-earning jobs, you should invest in good education.
We also blogged about the disappointing employment statistics for July.
