Author Jeff Korzenik’s day job as a Chief Investment Strategist at one of the largest commercial banks in the U.S. led him to take a deep dive into the realm of the social issues that have been plaguing workforce growth for the better part of two decades.

Untapped Talent provides both the data and the emotion as to why the U.S. workforce has diminished, strategic checkmarks on how it can be changed and, examples of those companies who became successful second-chance hiring employers.
