The Bethany-Fenwick Area Chamber of Commerce and the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia are cohosting a Community Perspectives Discussion series, with the second session planned for Wednesday, September 25th, from 9:00 - 11:00 AM, at Fenwick Shores.  This two-part series seeks to better understand how current labor market conditions are impacting Sussex County and to identify opportunities for future collaboration.  Local small business owners and employees are invited to participate.

In the September session, we will revisit themes heard during the May 2024 session and learn about research and current data on today's housing and labor markets.  In addition to hearing from a Philadelphia Fed researcher, attendees will be invited to participate in a roundtable discussion on labor market conditions during the summer season and future workforce needs.

Please note that you do not need to have attended the first session to participate in this event!  Space is limited so please reserve your seat by Monday, September 23rd.
