The hiring process is getting longer, and the labor market could be to blame. According to our Senior Economist Ron Hetrick, the market is wide open for those seeking hourly wage work. But for college degree seeking professionals, there are many applicants and few positions, resulting in more interviews and frustrated candidates.

It’s pretty common, I think, to attend a conference and wish you could be in 2-3 places at once. At #JFFHorizons, I legitimately felt like I could have been in 4-5, maybe more, spots simultaneously and still not have soaked up all the content, meetups, and policy convenings I wanted to take in. That doesn't include the most valuable part of any conference: the scheduled and chance hallway and lobby conversations with old friends, partners, clients, and colleagues. This was my first time at Jobs for the Future (JFF)'s workforce and education summit. Because of travel issues — the IT outage was no joke for Delta — I didn’t get to experience the full breadth of content and meetings I was planning on. But I did pick up on, with fresh eyes and ears, some patterns and themes in the language that the social impact, workforce, and education leaders in attendance were using. Notable terms I heard often in my 1.5 days at the conference: 1️⃣ Skills-first (instead of skills-based). Which suggests that skills-focused hiring and training is the first but not only approach that companies, institutions, and communities should be considering. 2️⃣ Durable skills (also human skills and foundational skills). I didn’t hear one mention of soft skills. Other key terms and themes I heard a lot, through my lens working for a leading labor market analytics firm, Lightcast: ✅ Multiple pathways to connect talent to opportunity (see the skills-first note above) ✅ Outcomes, outcomes, outcomes ✅ Longitudinal data ✅ Changing skills and the future of work ✅ AI and digital literacy ✅ Career exploration Lastly, one of my highlights was attending the “No Dead Ends” policy breakfast that featured Maria Flynn interviewing Sen. Kaine and Rep. Smucker. Both were confident WIOA reauthorization could get done by the end of session. But more than this and other legislation nuggets they shared, I was struck by their passion for and roots in CTE, the skilled trades, and non-degree options — all of which will be critical to address the deepening labor deficits we’ll see in coming years.
