2024

Happy New Year!

I hope you ushered in the New Year with excitement for all of its potential. It's 2024 and I pray your resolutions are abundantly successful!!! I personally don't "do" New Year Resolutions (it makes the gym less disappointing when I never show). I do however set achievable goals, and our goals this year have a common theme of "More in '24!" For me, the methods in which I plan to achieve my goals are important and thus purposeful. I want more out of relationships; it's my primary goal this year. To achieve this goal, I have to be purposeful in planning. Business relationships will only grow if I am involved in the opportunities presented to me.

The Chamber heard all of the requests and now offers many fun and engaging activities throughout each month, thereby extending the opportunity to grow those business relationships- which in turn directly grows business. You can't make the early morning meeting - how about lunch? Dinner? A different day of the week? Ladies? LGBTQ+? Young Pro? Military? Newbie? We've got something just for you! See you soon!

In the Know Key Takeaways from State of American Business 2024 US Chamber of Commerce

Free enterprise was the star at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s State of American Business event this week. The Chamber celebrated free enterprise for being the best system in the world at enabling success and ensuring our future. Its “biggest winners are all of us. Our families, our communities, our country, and our world,” U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Suzanne P. Clark declared.

“‌ The State of American Business is optimistic. And this country, its citizens and leaders, and our partners around the world need to hear it,” Clark added in her fact-filled defense of free enterprise and its benefits.

Why it matters: Markets benefit millions of people every day. Competition drives collaboration and creativity. “Failure leads to learning—and is often a prerequisite for success. Winners take their profits and find new problems to solve,” Clark explained. “Competitors learn from others’ success and drive continued advancement.” ‌

Be smart: Free enterprise has given rise to innovations that have improved the quality of life. We have more choices in goods, services, and jobs, and these benefits are shared broadly, Clark said. Most – 98% – of the value of new technology goes to the people who use it, while the company or entrepreneur gets 2%. ‌

Free enterprise also generates the economic growth needed to “pay for education, defense, basic research, transit and infrastructure, and the social safety net,” Clark added. “It fuels philanthropy and funds the arts, entertainment, and culture that enrich our lives. Most importantly, growth puts more money in people’s pockets so they can care for their families and pursue their goals.” ‌

Bottom line: “Those who believe in free enterprise—those who have lived it and been lifted by it—must stand up and say so,” Clark said.

In the Know America Works - US Chamber of Commerce A National Crisis by the Numbers Right now, there are too many jobs without people to fill them. As a result, businesses can’t grow, compete, and thrive. The U.S. Chamber and Chamber Foundation's America Works initiative is mobilizing business and government to swiftly address the crisis. The latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that thousands of people are entering the workforce. This is good. However, labor force participation does not match what it was before the pandemic.

The latest jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that thousands of people are entering the workforce. This is good. However, labor force participation does not match what it was before the pandemic. If the percentage of people participating in the labor force was the same as in February 2020, we would have 2.2 million more people in the workforce today—and this shortage is impacting all industries in nearly every state. If every unemployed worker took an open job in their industry, there would still be millions of open jobs.

Where did the workers go? During the COVID-19 pandemic, early retirements and less immigration has left the nation in a worker deficit. Plus, boosted unemployment benefits, stimulus payments, and child tax credits during offered during the pandemic padded the finances of some previously employed workers, and they no longer need to work, or in some cases people have adjusted to a single-income household lifestyle.

If every unemployed person in the country found a job, we would still have 3 million open jobs. How did this happen? At the height of the pandemic, more than 120,000 businesses temporarily closed, and more than 30 million U.S. workers were unemployed. Since then, job openings have continued to climb, while unemployment has slowly declined. (Read full article here).
