“What are you seeing in the current labor market?”
It’s a question we hear constantly, yet the answer is often based more on individual experience than meaningful data.
For this Lakeside Chat, Tyler Schipper, Associate Professor of Economics and Data Analytics at the University of St. Thomas will help us look beyond the headlines and better understand what labor market statistics and workforce trends are really telling us. We’ll explore how employers can use this information to make more informed decisions about hiring, retention, compensation, workforce planning, and the overall employee experience. Because labor market data isn’t just for government reports. Used well, it can help organizations become smarter, more responsive employers.
