New Data Reveals Twin Crises from Silver Tsunami and COVID-19 in Minnesota Share Article MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) May 13, 2021 Today, the Minnesota Center for Employee Ownership (MNCEO) released new data that reveals twin crises from the Silver Tsunami coupled with COVID-19 for businesses across Minnesota. Developed by Project Equity, the study shows that approximately 50% of all job-creating businesses in Minnesota (53,000) are owned by baby boomers. It is estimated that 60% of these businesses plan to transfer ownership in the next decade and COVID-19 has accelerated this timeline for many. The study results are presented on a county by county basis at mnceo.org/employee-ownership-101#crises. ....
As The New York Times reported this week: âSome states charge much more tuition than others. In California, home to the nationâs largest community college system, students pay only $552 per 12-credit semester. Low-income students pay nothing. Tuition is low because California lawmakers use state tax revenue to heavily subsidize the cost of college. âIn Vermont . community college tuition is six times more expensive: $3,360 per semester.â As such, there are concerns about how states that have long-supported college access for low-income students will get less help (proportionally) from such a federal plan while, as the Times reported, âStates that have let tuition rise would be rewarded with something akin to a federal bailout.â ....
Marquette A program that state Attorney General Dana Nessel rolled out Monday has the potential to offer protection to some of society’s most vulnerable citizens. The Sentinel Project will use specially trained staff to examine long-term care facilities for evidence of abuse or neglect through unannounced visits, which will be determined by performance metrics, complaints and other data. These discrete but comprehensive site investigations will determine if additional action is necessary to ensure loved ones are given the best possible care in such facilities. “This team from my Health Care Fraud Division has been established to further protect Michigan’s vulnerable and elderly population,” Nessel said in a news release. “We are dedicated to detecting and addressing any neglect or abuse of loved ones residing in long-term care facilities. Instances of substandard care must be eliminated and The Sentinel Project will help accomplish that goal.” ....
Lynsey Mukomel LANSING – A new initiative will focus on protecting vulnerable adults residing in nursing facilities, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced today. The Sentinel Project, which Nessel discussed in a video announcement, will use specially trained staff to examine long-term care facilities for evidence of abuse or neglect through unannounced visits, which will be determined by performance metrics, complaints and other data.

4 min to read According to Administrators of Nursing Education in Wisconsin, âIn 2018, Wisconsin nursing schools turned away over 1,000 students who wanted to enter the nursing profession or advance their education and improve their clinical skills.â Those rejections exacerbate the problem of how the Department of Workforce Development predicts that in 2025 Wisconsin will have a shortage of between 2,300 and 6,300 nurses. Fixing that âbottleneckâ of too few educators is then critical to addressing the Silver Tsunami, ANEW argues. Beyond that, educators say that Wisconsin needs to train the next generation of medical professionals to better serve the needs of the future than to continue with the status quo â that is, to train young nurses and doctors to work outside of hospital settings than in them. ....
