SUMMARY:How Can Public Policy Boost Hiring?
DESCRIPTION:A variety of obstacles can interfere with how quickly people find jobs. Workers may lack necessary skills or face other barriers to available employment\, such as a lack of transportation or child care. Employers may be reluctant to hire when they have limited information about workers’ qualifications or when economic conditions are poor. Public policies such as wage subsidies and programs that provide jobs through direct government employment aim to boost hiring in these circumstances. \n\n\n\nDuring this event\, research and policy experts from the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis\, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development\, Economic Innovation Group\, Hired\, and Upjohn Institute will explore the design\, implementation\, and impact of policies that encourage employers to hire. Attendees will learn about what role these policies can play in a healthy labor market and potential trade-offs for policymakers to consider. Panelists will also discuss examples of existing policies\, including state-level programs in Minnesota. \n\n\n\nWe hope you can join us. \n\n\n\nSpeakers include: \n\n\n\n\n\nTimothy Bartik\, Upjohn Institute\n\n\n\nAyushi Narayan\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis\n\n\n\nHue Nguyen\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis\n\n\n\nAdam Ozimek\, Economic Innovation Group\n\n\n\nJen Swalboski\, Hired\n\n\n\nNeal Young\, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:00 am – 11:06 am CT \n\n\n\n\n\nWelcome and Introduction\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Hue Nguyen\, Community Development and Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:07 am – 11:57 am CT \n\n\n\n\n\nPanel: Implementation and Impact of Policies Intended to Boost Hiring\n\n\n\nModerator: Ayushi Narayan\, Community Development and Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\n\nTimothy Bartik\, Upjohn Institute\n\n\n\nAdam Ozimek\, Economic Innovation Group\n\n\n\nJen Swalboski\, Hired\n\n\n\nNeal Young\, Minnesota Department of Employment and Economic Development\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n11:58 am – 12:00 pm CT \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Remarks and Thank You\n\n\n\nSpeaker: Hue Nguyen\, Community Development and Engagement\, Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
