Presentation for the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce's Economic Summit XI

Yesterday I had the pleasure of being an invited speaker for the Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce's Economic Summit XI. I spoke about the VA and Roanoke labor markets during and after the Great Recession.

The conference was quite interesting and had quite a mix of speakers. The two other speakers were a CEO of a software company in Roanoke and an author of a book (and PhD in Political Philosophy).

I met several people that will be great resources for future research, including folks from the Virginia Employment Commission.

Prior the conference I was interviewed by WFIR and Channel 10. You can hear the radio interview and view my presentation slides below.
