The Labour Market Group of Lanark and Renfrew Counties strives to resolve employment imbalances, while addressing misperceptions- all done with the statistics to prove its case.
That’s the LMG’s Allison Donnelly.
She says the challenges differ based on the employment sector.
This comes down to addressing retirement pressures by encouraging our youth to stay local.
While census data is a goldmine of statistics that can generate algorithms to point the way forward (when properly applied), there’s nothing like a good old-fashioned meeting of minds.
Donnelly says municipalities are always well-represented at LMG consultations, but she’d like to see more interest from the community’s larger employers.
