The Economy & Immigration - Show Me the Numbers!
March 31st, 12 p.m. - 1 p.m.
975 High Street in Eugene
With immigration in the national headlines and local 2017 economic forecasts predicting slower growth, City Club of Eugene will explore the financial impact of the immigrant workforce in their Friday Forum at the UO Baker Center on 10th and High Sts. in Eugene on March 31 at 12 noon. While immigration is the subject of much conflicting information and opinion, all business people, municipalities and citizens can agree it is important to understand it's economic impact.
Successful economies on any scale are often measured by productivity. In fact, our social security system, job growth, business return-on-investment (ROI), education funding and many other facets of cultural stability are dependent on maintaining a healthy level of productivity regardless of scale. As the numbers of older people rise and represent a greater financial cost to society in general, how will we assure the economic productivity necessary to meet increasing social costs? This question is being asked in many countries around the world and in many small towns here in Oregon. The answer is to look at the source of that much needed productivity - our people and our businesses - and see who does what and how much, so we know where to put our resources. We urge everyone to "get the facts from those who know" about one of the most discussed topics in current society and its related consequences for us in the Willamette Valley.
Representing business and industry will be Jeff Stone, Executive Director/CEO of the Oregon Association of Nurseries and Kevin Chambers, a fifth generation Oregon farmer, former wine industry CEO and owner of Koosah Farm, a permaculture vineyard, orchard and pasture operation. Representing the labor side will be Joel Iboa, born in Eugene, a member of Eugene's Human Rights Commission and Coalition Coordinator for Causa, the foremost immigrant rights organization in Oregon.
$5 admission, free to City of Eugene Club members.
