Hi, I'm Kristi Schutte, the new Office Manager at the Chamber. I bring with me 25 plus years of experience in the customer service industry, as well as 8 plus years working in secretarial and administrative assistant positions. I moved to Hastings in the early 2000s. My husband Josh and I and our two fur babies Izzi and Max, have made Hastings our home. I am looking forward to working with the Chamber and helping out the community in my new position. If you need to get in contact with me my email is info@hastingschamber.com.

About 2 million workers are missing from the workforce, according to a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Board of Kansas City. Estimates have ranged widely, but slower population growth (including immigration) and an aging population must be considered. |
|
About 66% or 1.3 million of missing workers are associated with the slow return to work among residents age 65+. About 31% or 620,000 are of prime working age (25 -54). Recovery in workforce participation is largely dependent on how fully and quickly the 65+ generation return to work. |
