The Labor Market During & After the Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic led to unprecedented turmoil in labor markets across the world. Labor market disruptions have alarmed employers, policy makers, consumers, and researchers. In Bozeman and other areas, local businesses have cut hours of operation, cut production, or shut down for lack of workers. What are the underlying reasons for this turmoil? Is this the new normal? How have resignations, quiet quitting, and expanded government benefits played a role? In this free public workshop, a leading economist will share research on these labor market developments and insights regarding how the U.S. labor market will evolve moving forward. Please join us for this virtual event!
