"Mike on Main Street" Coffey Meets with Leaders from Express Employment Professionals in Springfield

Springfield, IL…State Representative Mike Coffey (R-Springfield) is taking the initiative to further understand businesses in the 95th District with his "Mike on Main Street" business tours. This week, Rep. Coffey met with leaders from Express Employment Professionals to learn more about their operations, history, and how Illinois policies have impacted their business. After the roundtable meeting, Coffey shared his thoughts about the workforce and business climate in Illinois.

"Express Employment Professionals created a very robust business model to help job seekers across Illinois enter the workforce and have long-term job security," Coffey said. "The team here in Springfield is passionate about connecting people with their dream job in areas such as skilled trades, accounting, truck driving, and even entry level and executive positions. Their mission is to give people hope, purpose, and opportunities to live a better life."

Express Employment Professionals was founded in 1983 and has been guided by a simple vision: helping people find good paying jobs and helping businesses find good people. The family-owned business has grown to become an extensive network of franchise locations.

"The team here is really making a positive impact on our workforce, however there are major challenges they face due to Illinois policies that create hurdles for businesses," Coffey continued to say. "We must get back to the basics, because more red tape from Springfield can stifle opportunities."
