State and local governments have reported they are having recruitment and retention challenges. According to a new survey, these agencies are turning toward an unlikely source of labor — the gig economy.
“State and Local Government Workforce: 2018 Data and 10 Year Trends” was conducted by a partnership between the Center for State and Local Government Excellence, the International Public Management Associate for Human Resources and the National Association of State Personnel Executives since 2009. The organizations are looking at various workforce trends in state and local governments to determine what challenges, changes, compensation and benefits they face, according to Gerald Young, senior research associate with the Center for State and Local Government Excellence and report author of the survey.
