Kansas labor chief touts rebound from recession
Labor Secretary Jim Garner in Topeka says Kansas has moved from the 2001-03 recession toward steady growth. He cites lower unemployment, rising wages, and higher state revenues, with 1.3 million on payroll and a 28 percent drop in first-time jobless claims from 2003. He highlights aviation, energy, biosciences, and construction as growth areas, while critics say job growth lags and government, not private sector, drives gains.
