    Join us for insights about the current state and national economy and the labor market, along with forecasts and projections for what is to come. 
    Our presenter will give us an overview of both the Connecticut and national economies, along with a discussion of forecasts and projections for the coming months, including:
    • Employment and unemployment
    • Performance of Connecticut industries
    • Demographics of those who are in (and who have left) the labor force
    • Migration into and out of Connecticut
    • Job openings and unemployment insurance claims
    • Inflation and interest rates
    Understanding our state’s current and future economic trends is critical for HR and business leaders as they plan for future staffing, training and retention goals.
