Bringing Talent to Small Towns

Tom Barkin

Speech from Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond

Abstract: As I talk to employers considering expansions and as I talk to community leaders trying to recruit firms, there's an increasing focus on talent. Small towns are going to have to up their games on the attraction, development and retention of talent. Small towns in our district are recruiting talent like they cultivate employers: they are telling their stories, making moving easy, creating incentives and strengthening their homegrown workforce pipelines.
