Kentucky Chamber Foundation Releases 20 Years in the Making: Kentucky’s Workforce Crisis Report “Kentucky’s workforce challenges are exceptional, but they did not suddenly emerge in the age of COVID-19,” said the report’s author Kentucky Chamber Senior Policy Analyst Charles Aull, PhD. “Rather, they have been building and holding back our economy for at least two decades. There is no one singular cause of these challenges. Instead, the causes are many, and the solutions must be, as well.” Read the report here.

COVID STOPS HERE CAMPAIGN The COVID Stops Here campaign recognizes Kentucky workplaces that have achieved widespread vaccination. We are celebrating employers that are leading the fight against this virus — and encouraging more Kentucky workplaces to join their ranks.
