AUGUSTA For decades, weve heard politicians promising to attract businesses and jobs to the state to help grow the economy. While supporting small businesses and job creation is important, what Maines economy needs right now is people. Maines economic outlook has changed dramatically since the Great Recession, and the state suffers not from a lack of jobs but from a lack of people.
