Labor Shortage or Surplus Article Featured in “The Issue”

  • By Bill Conerly
  • In Media
  • 3 comments

Our recent blog post about the Jamaicans of Mackinac Island was featured on an interesting new web site, TheIssue.com.  The site is intriguing: it’s laid out like an on-line newspaper, but all of the items are blog posts.  The site starts with an issue of the day, then moves to the typical sections of a newspaper:  U.S., World, Business, Science & Health, etc.  (But surprisingly no sports.)

I still use blogsearch.google.com when I want to know what the bloggers are saying on a specific topic, but TheIssue is a good way to browse.  The function of a newspaper in the Internet era is not to provide specific stories–they are all over the place–but to add a layer of judgment about what’s interesting or useful.  TheIssue does that.  It will be fun to watch it.

David Wick, CEO, O.B. Williams Company
The ratings you received from our banker evaluations were among the highest I’ve seen, which matched my impressions exactly. Your presentation style is quite engaging, you bring interesting and valuable content, and our ability to interact in a stimulating way during “Q&A” sessions makes you a valuable addition to any meeting agenda. As a bonus, you are a genuinely enjoyable participant in conference activities beyond your presentation.
Steve Yeakel, Montana Independent Bankers
On multiple occasions we have engaged Dr. Conerly to facilitate, and more importantly, stimulate strategic planning sessions. He artfully brings the complexity of economic consequences to light, and is also is a veteran voice of objectivity. And his ability to inject humor keeps the energy and teamwork a priority!
Greg Newton, CFO, Cascade Bancorp
Dr. Bill Conerly opened our Ace Hardware Platinum Retailer Conference by helping our independent small business owners understand the current state of the economy in a straight forward and humorous manner that connected very well with the retailers I spoke with. Dr. Conerly provided information our retailers can use to lead their businesses. He connected with the audience and made a complicated topic understandable.

You made a complicated global picture understandable. I have received many favorable comments from those in attendance. I frequently heard comments like ‘Now I understand’ or ‘Wow, now I get it’ and ‘He was great to listen to. Thanks for bringing Bill to our meeting.’
Pete Van Sickle, Idaho Department of Lands
Our audience of local business and community leaders not only valued the economic data you provided, but they really appreciated that you made it applicable to their businesses, their personal lives and moreover – that you presented it in a clear and entertaining manner.
Scott Boyer, Mountain Pacific Bank
It can be difficult to find economists who provide good substantive information who are also entertaining and engaging. I received many enthusiastic comments about Dr. Conerly from members and others in the audience.

Bill did a great job. We look forward to a continuing relationship.
John Hamburger, Franchise Times
