CBIA 2023 legislative agenda focuses on workforce

The Connecticut Business & Industry Association, the state’s largest business lobby, has announced its 2023 legislative agenda, which focuses on addressing Connecticut’s workforce shortage and making the state a more affordable place to live and work.

“There are nearly 100,000 job openings in the state, while 85% of employers struggle with finding and retaining employees,” said CBIA CEO Chris DiPentima. “The jobs are here. What employers need are the workers to fill those jobs.”
