  • Getting Back into the Workforce After Retirement

    Getting Back into the Workforce After Retirement
    May 26 2022
      May is Older American’s month and we thought it afforded an opportunity to explore another talent pool employers may consider when recruiting. Older workers bring a valuable asset to any business: experience. They have raised families, built careers, served our country and have given back to their community as role models and volunteers. 30 percent of the population in Marion County is 65 and older and 27 percent of workers are 55 and older. But as we are seeing a rising cost of living, not all seniors who might like to enjoy the fruits of their labor are able to or want to. So how can businesses leverage the experience of older workers and how can seniors get back into the labor force to do so?   With the help of Kevin Harrison, CareerSource CLM’s Career Center Manager, and Warren Thomas, Job Developer at the Pinellas County Urban League and Host Agency Job Developer for the Urban Senior’s Job Program, we might just find a solution. You’ve got questions, so do we. Let’s discuss on the Biz Spot.

  • Digging into Labor Force Participation Rates with Kevin Sheilley

    Digging into Labor Force Participation Rates with Kevin Sheilley
    Mar 31 2022

    We've heard a lot about what's been called the "Great Resignation," "The Big Quit," "The Great Reshuffle" - all names given to the huge shifts in the workforce caused, we presume, by COVID-19. However, this implies a singular event with a one-and-done shift in talent. Recently, reports have shown that this disruption may have been a more ongoing process.

    With today's guest, Kevin Sheilley, President of the Ocala Metro Chamber and Economic Partnership, we dig into the region's labor force participation rate. It's an important labor market measure because it represents the amount of labor resources available in the economy. Our three-county region has the labor resources but little participation- why?

    You've got questions, so do we. Let's discuss on the Biz Spot.
