The Chillicothe/Ross Chamber of Commerce is seeking input from local businesses in order to better understand the current workforce shortage in Ross County.

Chamber CEO Mike Throne says- We’re looking to collect data and information about the workforce shortage in our area.” Throne adds- “The idea of the survey is to find actual data and not just anecdotal information to address problems of business being able to find people to work.”

Throne says they are also interested in what employers are hearing from prospective employees- concerning their needs to get back into the workplace. Whether that means a need for even higher wages, childcare needs and/or healthcare benefits.

The survey is titled “Chillicothe & Ross County Workforce Needs Survey.”
