Two years into the pandemic and employment in Nevada has become highly competitive as the state faces an all-time low participation rate in the labor force. The industry now looks to improve prospects by bridging the gap between employers and employees through targeted training programs and tapping into new candidate pools. Recently, executives from the employment industry met at a roundtable, sponsored by City National Bank, to discuss what lies ahead for employment in Nevada.
Connie Brennan, publisher and CEO of Nevada Business Magazine, served as moderator for the event. These monthly roundtables bring together industry leaders to discuss relevant issues and solutions.
