Growing Maine’s workforce

Host Kristina Egan sits down with Nate Wildes, Executive Director of Live and Work in Maine, to explore how Maine can attract, retain, and welcome the workforce it needs. They dig into what employers are saying, why attracting talent is a community-wide challenge, and how storytelling and branding help Maine stand out. The conversation tackles real barriers like housing, transportation, and childcare, the rise of remote workers and what it means for communities.
