President & CEO
One of the highlights of serving as president and CEO of Associated Industries of Massachusetts is delivering the annual State of Massachusetts Business Address, which articulates the vision and priorities of the Massachusetts business community for the coming year.
The 2025 State of Massachusetts Business Address is posted below.
The good news is that we enter 2025 for the first time in four years buoyed by a stable, post-pandemic national economy with modest growth and moderate inflation. Massachusetts employers added 27,100 jobs last year and the labor-force participation rate is at its highest level since 2020.
At the same time, Massachusetts faces significant challenges in areas ranging from economic growth to outmigration to housing, health care and energy.
The speech looks at the question of how to enhance the strengths of the Massachusetts economy and while preventing its weaknesses from doing long-term damage to the prosperity of our citizens? It also lays out AIM’s policy priorities for 2025.
We hope you enjoy the speech and will share your thoughts and comments.
