Webinar: OECD Employment Outlook 2015
Connecting the right people to the right jobs benefits both individuals and the economy. This is especially true as technological innovation, aging populations, and demand for new skills drive the job market in new directions. Although overall unemployment continues to decrease in the U.S. and Canada, and both countries see encouraging signs for youth, issues such as discouragement among the long-term unemployed, and high levels of wage and skills inequality still need to be addressed.
What policies can improve conditions for better employment and wages? Join us online on Thursday, July 9th for a webinar presentation of OECD’s 2015 Employment Outlook. Our experts will provide recommendations on how governments can best utilize existing economic tools to tackle the root causes of income inequality and deliver better quality jobs both nationally and locally.
Presentation:
Stefano Scarpetta, Director of Employment, Labor and Social Affairs, OECD
Paul Swaim, Senior Economist, Employment Analysis and Policy Division, Directorate for Employment, Labor and Social Affairs, OECD
Date: Thursday July 9th, 10:00 AM EDT
