Speaker: Chancellor Jeff Pittman, St. Louis Community College

Topic: State of the St. Louis Workforce

Understanding the Greater St. Louis region's workforce is the first step in developing talent and building successful partnerships. Each year, the State of the St. Louis Workforce report explores trends and needs impacting regional employers and the labor market.

For the first time in three years, the report examines the St. Louis workforce beyond the immediate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The annual State of the St. Louis Workforce report supplies our region with a clearer picture of our primary asset: our workers. The report also highlights three key topics that impact St. Louis now and that will continue to influence our economy for the foreseeable future: geospatial, startups, and immigration. For all the attention they receive in the media, they remain buzzwords and a mystery for most of us.
