Connecticut's unemployment rate has hovered above 8 percent, more than double the rate pre- pandemic. But now that the job market is picking up, why are business owners having such a hard time hiring? 

This hour, we talk about what employers are doing to get people back to work. We hear from a local landscaper who is navigating hiring during the pandemic. 

What will the job market look like after the pandemic? We want to hear from you.

GUESTS:

• Eric Nelson - Owner of Garden Paths, Inc. 
• Patrick Flaherty - Director of Research, Connecticut Department of Labor
• Gary Burtless - Senior Fellow, Economic Studies at The Brookings Institution
