(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Workforce Development hosted a roundtable in Sioux City this (Wednesday) morning to partner with businesses in trying to find workers. Presenter Kathy Leggett talked about the issue prior to the roundtable and says there’s some people who aren’t coming back to the workforce for various reasons.

Leggett says businesses have to look at a variety of options for bringing in workers.

Leggett says hiring wages are making things even more competitive. She says she saw it in their summer youth work program.

The roundtable was held at Western Iowa Tech.
