  • Labor availability and labor retention are big issues in the U.S. economy and that's especially true for agribusiness firms and for commercial scale farm operations. According to the latest Purdue Agricultural Job Market Report, job postings are up by 50%. More employers are seeking entry-level candidates with higher levels of education. Additionally, it has become more common for employers to include salary information in their job postings as a way to encourage applications. In this episode, host Brady Brewer joins Josh Strine, a Ph.D. student in Purdue's Department of Agricultural Economics, to discuss the Purdue Ag Jobs Dashboard. They'll bring you up to speed on ag labor issues while reviewing recent trends from the latest June 2024 report. If you're a farm or agribusiness seeking to hire new staff or you're seeking a new career in agriculture, you won't want to miss this episode.
