To Work or Not To Work... Current Labor Trends

Thursday December 2, 11:00AM

Join East Side Connect! to get a handle on the questions and concerns driving our current Labor market. Our businesses say their most valuable asset is their employees. And right now help seems hard to keep... and even harder to find! Rachel Speck of the East Side Employment xChange helps us look at what we know about Labor trends, what our own experience tells us about what is driving them, what employers can try to do to retain employees, and how the xChange is preparing to help in the new year.
