10:40:54 From Eliza Chappell To Everyone:
	Thank you for breaking the information down that way, Tucker, that is helpful and hopeful information.
10:42:25 From  Diane McBride, DBVI  to  Everyone:
	Can we get a copy of the presentation?  This is great information!
10:48:13 From  LaPearl Smith  to  Everyone:
	Diversity and Inclusion!!
10:48:34 From  Bill Browning  to  Everyone:
	Are there current sources of data on job quality features that WORKERS now value more?  E.g., what pay and job quality features are most likely to attract and retain workers
10:48:41 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Tucker - Great job presenting the data and thanks in advance for sharing the presentation!
10:49:09 From  Laura Snell  to  Everyone:
	Thank you Tucker.  Great info.
10:49:49 From  LaPearl Smith  to  Everyone:
	Great information Tucker. Do we know what the top IT certifications are in the region?
10:50:09 From  Eliza Chappell  to  Everyone:
	Apologies everyone, my power went out so I'm calling back in on  my phone as I try to get back online.
10:50:53 From  Mark Chernisky  to  Everyone:
	QUIT RATES: are these numbers calibrated for multiple job holders (people who may work in health care or hospitality f/t and retail on the side or vice versa, for example...)? POSTINGS: Is that number typically inflated (bloated?) (some employers advertising "nice to have"/hard to find positions and "real" (urgent) positions)?
10:51:58 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Bill - I've also seen some reports that discuss the increase in health and wellness offerings important.
10:52:07 From  LaPearl Smith  to  Everyone:
	Also, the Gig economy. What rate of growth is that in the region?
10:52:24 From  Mouly A.  to  Everyone:
	As folks keep resigning and seeking new entry in other industries, do have a list of all business that are offering internship/apprentice opportunities that we could use to share with interested clients?
10:53:17 From  Eliza Chappell  to  Everyone:
	Huge thank you to Tucker for breaking down the information by our specific populations and education levels we typically serve to help us navigate this information.
10:53:35 From  Sheila Jones  to  Everyone:
	Thank you Tucker!
11:00:11 From  Myra Mobley  to  Uyen Tran(Direct Message):
	I Uyen,  I am going to sign off as I have another meeting at 11.
11:00:21 From  Uyen Tran  to  Myra Mobley(Direct Message):
	Okay
11:05:37 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Count Mike in too :)
11:05:56 From  Kellan Graves  to  Everyone:
	How could I forget Mike!
11:06:03 From  Mike Bozeth  to  Everyone:
	I am always in for these chats :)
11:07:27 From  Melissa Merana  to  Everyone:
	Internships are definitely needed, even for recent immigrants that have overseas experience and a new certification here, but no or limited professional US work experience
11:12:56 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	LinkedIn reported last week that there is now one remote job for every 7 jobs on LinkedIn.  An incredible difference from pre-covid.
11:14:37 From  Tucker Plumlee  to  Everyone:
	Hi all--had to step away. A couple of answers to questions in the chat:
11:15:36 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Don't forget that we also have some very active Chambers of Commerce in Northern Virginia, and many of them have a GovCon Committee.
11:16:00 From  Tucker Plumlee  to  Everyone:
	LaPearl--CompTIA certs are typically at the top, especially Security+. For help desk/support, A+ is most prominent.
11:19:13 From  Tucker Plumlee  to  Everyone:
	The gig economy question is tricky as there isn't great up-to-date data at the local/regional level... This is a good website for relevant data/research, however: https://www.gigeconomydata.org/
11:19:56 From  EDWARD DUPASS  to  Everyone:
	We have to really support those employers like that
11:20:31 From  Diane McBride, DBVI  to  Everyone:
	Thank you everyone for your feedback!
11:21:25 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Larger group
11:21:36 From  Mike Bozeth  to  Everyone:
	Larger group
11:22:00 From  Sheila Jones  to  Everyone:
	Transportation is a big issue for my clients as well. The cost of gas and used cars have skyrocketed. Also, Car Ministry and Vehicles For Change aren't accepting applications anymore.
11:23:01 From  Tucker Plumlee  to  Everyone:
	Good questions, Mark--JOLTS (which provides quits/openings) is gathered from establishments, so multiple job-holders are counted for each job move. Also, yes, postings are not a one-to-one reflection of openings--duplicate postings are removed but, for example, contractors may post for jobs on a contract that hasn't been awarded yet. As a result, areas such as IT can be a little inflated, while areas like construction are somewhat underrepresented.
11:28:53 From  Diane McBride, DBVI  to  Everyone:
	I didn't know you could pay for a clearance?
11:29:41 From  EDWARD DUPASS  to  Everyone:
	Organizations (Govt Contractors) actually incur a cost for those clearances if they must be initiated by that organization
11:30:35 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Just a little reminder that we have two websites to assist jobseekers identify hiring employers:
11:30:38 From  Mike Bozeth  to  Everyone:
	Ed, I was thinking the same thing. Maybe there is a way workforce can incur the cost or reimburse for it?
11:31:06 From  EDWARD DUPASS  to  Everyone:
	The problem with that Mike there must be a need for access in order for that to occur
11:31:34 From  Mike Bozeth  to  Everyone:
	Ed, makes total sense.
11:31:43 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	WorkInLoudou.com and workinnorthernvirginia.com    These sites could of secondary help for you and jobseekers.
11:32:54 From  Mike Bozeth  to  Everyone:
	Michael.Bozeth@loudoun.gov - please tell me what you like and what you would like to see in the future. Today's meeting was good for security clearances! :)
11:34:06 From  Melissa Merana  to  Everyone:
	I thought it was helpful to hear LaPearl share about some of the challenges (which may be common to many) and brainstorm solutions
11:38:01 From  EDWARD DUPASS  to  Everyone:
	Also it depends on who at the organization we are interacting with (Recruiters vs HR vs Leadership)
11:39:48 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	I find our local workforce data is helpful as well as vetted articles and information.
11:40:24 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Agreed - I would be happy to connect with you if you'd like as you work with Loudoun employers as we do this daily.
11:40:59 From  Tucker Plumlee  to  Everyone:
	Thank you all again for having me--I have to jump off, but appreciated the chance to listen in on excellent conversation and hear about all the great work going on. Again, feel free to reach out: tplumlee@nvcc.edu
11:45:43 From  Nancy Evanko  to  Everyone:
	Sorry everyone, I have to jump off.  Great first meeting of 2022.  Thanks to everyone, see you next month.
11:48:18 From  Sheila Jones  to  Everyone:
	Good clarification Eliza. Thanks!
11:50:27 From  rmahon  to  Everyone:
	Bobby Mahon - Robert.mahon@fairfaxcounty.gov
11:53:14 From  EDWARD DUPASS  to  Everyone:
	Mark your calendars the Commonwealth will be sponsoring a statewide virtual hiring event on the 24th of February more details will follow in the coming days.
12:01:57 From  Mark Chernisky  to  Everyone:
	January 26th Manassas Community Job Fair https://www.relianthiring.com/greater-manassas-community-job-fair.html
12:02:25 From  EDWARD DUPASS  to  Everyone:
