Empowering Staffing Excellence in Missouri & Kansas

Session: Who is Going to Do the Work? How the Demographic Drought is reshaping America.

Description: Let me guess, everyday you are hearing mixed messages about the US economy. Constant recession talk and negativity seem pervasive and yet, if things are so bad, where are all of the quality workers that typically become available in times of economic struggle? You may also be wondering, why is it that I receive a bunch of applicants for my college degreed jobs, but I can’t find anyone with the skill sets I want for my non-college degreed jobs? The world is changing. The US is changing.

Join us for an exclusive webinar presented by Ron Hetrick, Senior Labor Economist and VP of Staffing Product at Lightcast on March 7th at 12 PM CT where Ron will discuss how unprecedented demographic changes will permanently change the recruiting landscape and what staffing companies can do in this new labor landscape. After this presentation, you won’t ever look at our country the same again.

Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain actionable insights and strategies to drive success. Reserve your spot now and be part of this important conversation!
