We're not just talking business attraction this morning. Residential attraction is also key, especially now. And what's a barrier to resident attraction? A lack of housing. Communities need a housing strategy. #talentattraction

This morning’s ThriveED education session is underway! We’re thrilled to have Kathryn Berger from CG Schmidt present best practices for business attraction for rural communities.

"Obernberger had high praise for Thrive Economic Development of Jefferson County and for Jefferson’s municipal leadership. Both entities made his move from Racine to Jefferson a smooth one."

Over the last 10 years, 93% of resumes have gone unacknowledged. Not even read or seen. Employers have ghosted job seekers. Can't do that in today's labor market. #WinningtheWarforTalent

[Thrive Economic Development @Thrive_ED]

What is the cost of not being able to fill an open position for a year? You know the cost of not having customers for a year. Do you know the cost of not having enough employees? #WinningtgeWarforTalent

[Thrive Economic Development @Thrive_ED]

70% of job seekers aren't coming to you because they've never heard of your company. - Chris Czarnik, #WinningtheWarforTalent
