Focus group discussions are scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, Nov. 13 and 14.
Regina Salas, with Coconino Workforce Development Board, says the collaboration reflects the county’s commitment to “grounding strategies in robust, data-driven insights that will ultimately support a thriving, sustainable economy for all.”
Findings from the study are expected to provide guidance to the workforce board as it shapes future policies and program decisions. To ensure the approach reflects true experiences, Salas says the board is seeking local business owners and workers to participate in virtual focus groups.
“We want business owners to share perspectives on how the wage increase has influenced operations, the workforce and business decisions,” she said. “Discussions with employees will focus on how the wage increase has affected work, hours and quality of life.”
