LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - The Nebraska Chamber of Commerce and Industry says workforce issues are a top concern for businesses around the state.
The chamber released its annual survey this week of Nebraska business owners, executives and community leaders. About 39 percent of survey respondents identified workforce quality and availability as a major concern. Another 37 percent said federal regulations posed the biggest threat to businesses.
The survey was conducted from late August through October as part of the state chamber's annual legislative forums held across the state. The forums were attended by more than 1,200 Nebraskans, including most state senators and several candidates for the Legislature.
Chamber officials say this marks the third consecutive year that respondents have identified workforce issues as a leading concern.
