Smart, Productive Workforce
From our nationally recognized K-12 education programs to our world-class colleges and universities, a lifetime of learning is available to all Iowans.
Iowa ranks at the top with its highly-skilled, productive and educated work force. This smart, productive workforce delivers unsurpassed business productivity. Iowa's unemployment insurance rate for new employers is the lowest rate in the nation. Iowa's workers' compensation costs are far below the national average according to Actuarial & Technical Solutions, Inc. (2004)
Of course, for Iowa businesses, an educated workforce means a more motivated employee, lower start-up costs, lower training costs, fewer job-related accidents, shorter training periods, and an excellence — a pride — in quality and productivity.
An educated workforce means increased profitability for your business!
