The Hustler Files Ep 91
TAKE UP ONE IDEA, MAKE THAT ONE IDEA YOUR LIFE
In April of 2023, Episode #11, we first chatted with Economist and Author Jeff Korzenik. His book, Untapped Talent, had been recently released, and we were excited to hear about how a well-known, National U.S. Economist, became involved in the fair chance hiring movement. Since then, Jeff has been crisscrossing the U.S. making a case for hiring justice-impacted individuals, one speaking engagement at a time. From well-known business schools such as MIT and Wharton to large-scale organizations such as Goodwill, Jeff brings factual and concerning information about the current state of the labor shortage. He also shares the compelling stories of employers and employees who have succeeded in the fair chance hiring model. As Jeff says, ‘the structural labor shortage is an “all hands on deck” problem with no single solution’, and as such, he will continue to spread the fair chance hiring message to overcome the workforce issues plaguing U.S. employers.
