Event Description:
Human Resource Leadership Association of Eastern CT
2019 CT Economic Update
on March 12 from 5:30 - 7:30pm
Holiday Inn, 10 Laura Blvd, Norwich, CT
The national economy is setting records with the longest-ever string of monthly job gains job openings at an all-time high. The national economy has been growing since June 2009 so we could soon be in the longest expansion in history. All of this good news has raised fears that we might be “due” for a recession. While there is nothing inevitable about the next recession, there has been some indicators that have raised concerns.
In Connecticut, job growth has lagged the nation and our neighbor states since the end of the great recession. However, in the past year job growth has picked up significantly – and Connecticut is showing evidence of having some of the same issues (lots of job openings and a shortage of workers) as the rest of the nation. Job growth in Connecticut has not been even across industries and regions. Patrick will discuss these and other trends.
Attendees will learn:
• What are the prospects for a national recession in the near future.
• Which Connecticut industries are growing and which are struggling or restructuring?
• What do the long term industry and occupational projections say about Connecticut’s future workforce needs?
• What does the latest demographic data say about Connecticut’s population and importantly, its workforce – who is moving out and who is moving in?
• Is the “gig economy” replacing or merely supplementing traditional employment?
This event has been pre-approved for 1.0 credit by SHRM and 1.0 business credit by HRCI.
