CLEVELAND, Ohio — Where Are the Workers?, a multiphase project delving into the labor shortage in Northeast Ohio, has created a new website to share its findings.
The project, led by the Fund For Our Economic Future, has used surveys of both working-age adults and employers to dig deeper than standard workforce data. As the project evolves, new found information will now be posted to wherearetheworkers.com.
For example, the Fund has used the data to estimate how many workers have quit, retired or are thinking of quitting soon across 11 counties in Northeast Ohio, from Cleveland outward to Lorain, Youngstown and Canton.
