Liza highlighted the fact that VR is here and is helping people learn the trades. As of right now, there are 1,053 open jabs in Warren County and that number will jump up another 1,000 jobs this summer with a need to fill positions in the hospitality sector.  Chris spoke about the innovation that is needed sue to decreased population and the aging workforce. We are using robots, drones, and artificial intelligence to fill the need.
