Michigan is well-positioned to grow jobs in six emerging sectors, according to a recent report looking at economic opportunity in the state.

"We've got a chance to play and lead in these growing areas," said John Austin of The Michigan Economic Center, an independent policy and action organization for the state, focusing on its economy.

Austin is its director and former chair of the Michigan Board of Education. An Ann Arbor resident, Austin ran for reelection to the board of education as a Democrat and lost in 2016.
