affordable housing for entry level jobs

I agree with Mary!

ditto

if we solve the housing issue - then the rest will be easier to manage

Agreed - looking at the wages for all these sectors really highlights the need for affordable housing. Workers can’t afford high rents.

affordable housing is a long term issue

Clearly there is a need for increased "salaries" maybe this needs to be reframed to think about income beyond these lower income jobs. Supplemental or building a total income beyond a single job.

Agree Ann - living wage

Thanks Eric. Here is also county-level self-sufficiency wages for NC: https://www.unitedwaync.org/self-sufficiency-standard

higher wages are necessary

Agree with Annie!

Thanks for the recording, Becky. I hope so too!

I agree! Where are the managers?

Bern - back to a previous discussion with CREATE - Employers have to value continued education and training for themselves and their employees.

even if double salary - they still cannot afford living in our area due to rent for a one bedroom (if you can even find one that is available for long term) often starting at over $1000 - get a 2 or 3 bedroom and you go 1500-2000.

work force housing

That's the same cost as housing in the DC area

Hooray Donna! This session is shifting focus to developing people rather than-a'workforce'. Need Talent development locally, too--beyond focus on outside talent recruitment

We provide 401K, PTO, 50% paid insurance, paid volunteer time off, pet love leave and discover your own back yard paid time off. Some of the non-traditional benefits have been most appreciated, and really cost the least, so even with a modest budget sometimes you can provide a 'benefit' that is not necessarily financially costly, but shows the employee you genuinely care about them.

Excellent point Ann!
