Business Services: “The Origin and Future of our Tight Labor Market”, with Damon Runberg, March 24, 2022
Presented by Damon Runberg, state economist with the Oregon Employment Department covering Central Oregon, the Klamath Basin, and the Columbia River Gorge. He writes prolifically and regularly gives presentations on the state of the local economy. The tight labor market we are experiencing has been the talk of the town for months. Most of these conversations lead to assumptions about “overly generous unemployment insurance,” “lazy workers,” or “greedy workers.” The labor market is in fact very tight, among the tightest markets on record, however the reasons why are far more complex than many of these assumptions. Damon will help put today’s labor market into perspective and look into the future to see whether we can expect hiring to become easier.
