A
A LOT
A LOT OF
A LOT OF PEOPLE GLAD YOU'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS.
THIS IS THE FIRST QUESTION FOR
YOU.
A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE OUT OF
WORK.
SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF COMPANIES
WERE LOOKING FOR PEOPLE TO FILL
ESSENTIAL JOBS.
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE HIRING
TRENDS YOU'RE SEE SOMETHING.
>> THANK YOU ALL.
IT'S GREAT TO BE WITH YOU AND
YOUR VIEWERS.
THEIR IS A LOT GOING ON IN AND
AMONGST THE BAD NEWS.
THE CENTER FAILVALE IS FILLED
WITH AN AGRICULTURAL BASED
ECONOMY AND SO WE'RE FINDING A
LOT OF POSITIONS IN THE AG
INDUSTRY AND IT'S NOT JUST
PEOPLE WORKING IN WAREHOUSES
AND THINGS LIKE THAT, THERE ARE
A LOT OF PROFESSIONAL POSITIONS
WORKING AND MEETING PEOPLE FOR
FOOD PROCESSING.
THERE IS PACKAGING, BUSINESSES
THAT NEED HELP.
ALL KINDS OF MANUFACTURING AND
ALSO, ANOTHER BIG OPPORTUNITY
HAS COME IS THE TEMPERATURE
CHECK SITE.
NOT ONLY FOR MANUFACTURING AND
FOOD PROCESSING.
BUT WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO PUT A
LOT OF, REPURPOSE A LOT OF
MEDICAL STAN.
>> UH-HUH.
>> TO TO WELL.
THE TEMPERATURE CHECK FOR
EMPLOYERS THAT NEED THIS SAFETY
NET, YOU KNOW, TO BRING THINGS
HOME TO THEM.
>> UH-HUH.
>> YOUR BUSINESS, THE NEXT
QUESTION FOR YOU IS THAT IT
COVERS A GOOD CHUNK OF THE
CENTRAL VALLEY AND WHAT AFFECT
HAS IT ON THE JOB MARKET LIKE
STANISLAUS AND SAN JOAQUIN
COUNTIES?
>> THE EFFECTS OF THIS HAVE
BEEN ENORMOUS.
MANY BUSINESSES HAVE GONE FROM
HAVING BANNER YEARS TO, YOU
KNOW, A SCREECHING HALT.
IT'S DEVASTATING FOR NAME.
THEY DON'T HAVE EASY MEANS TO
KEEP THEIR DOORS OPEN, YOU
KNOW, OR CONTINUE THEIR
BUSINESS, BUT THEY'RE WORKING
ON THE RUNWAY THEY HAVE AND
WITH ALL OF THE TOOLS
AVAILABLE.
YOU KNOW, BETWEEN THE SBA AND
THE PPP PROGRAMS.
WHAT EMPLOYERS ARE DOING LIKE
OURSELVES AND A LOT OF
RESTAURANT AREAS IN TOWN,
THEY'RE LOOKING AT CREATIVE
WAYS TO STILL GET THE PRODUCT
TO THE CONSUMER.
AND IT'S PRETTY INTERESTING TO
SEE THAT HAPPEN.
>> UH-HUH.
>> OH, HANA SEAFOOD WENT FROM
9,000 A DAY IN SALES TO 900,
BUT HE REPURPOSED THE BUSINESS
TO SERVE INDIVIDUALS INSTEAD OF
THE WHOLESALE MARKET INTO
RESTARAUNTS AND SO IT'S BEEN
EXCITING TO SEE SOME OF THE
GOOD NEWS, BUT IT'S A STRUGGLE,
YOU KNOW.
THERE IS NO HIDING FROM THAT.
>> WHERE ARE YOU SEEING A
MATCH, CHRIS.
WOULD IT BE A SCENARIO WHERE
SOMEONE IS WORKING IN THE
RESTAURANT, BARTENDER, WAITER,
BUSKER AND THEY'RE OUT OF WORK,
OBVIOUSLY.
ARE THEY GOING TO THE JOBS WE
HEAR ABOUT, WHICH WOULD BE
DELIVERING FOR A CVS OR
WALGREENS, A TARGET OR WAL-
MART.
>> YES.
WE SEEING THAT.
WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THAT WHEN
YOU HAVE SUCH A HIGH PREVALENCE
OF CUSTOMER POSITIONS, THEY
HAVE AN EXCELLENT IN CUSTOMER
SERVICE AND CARE, THEY'RE ABLE
TO,SOME OF THEM, THEY CAN
REPURPOSE THE SKILL SET AND
BRING THAT HOME FOR ANOTHER
EMPLOYER.
THAT THEIR IS ANOTHER AVENUE
PEOPLE ARE USING.
AGAIN, A LOT OF PEOPLE DEEP
REALIZE IT, BUT IF YOU HAVE
BEEN DR4399PR IF YOU HAVE BEEN
FURLOUGHED, THEY'RE GOING TO
TEMPORARY SERVICE AGENCIES LIKE
OURS AND OTHERS, AND THEY'RE
ABLE TO CONTINUE WITH A LEVEL
OF EMPLOYMENT AS WELL.
>> UH-HUH.
>> YOU TOUCHED ON THIS A BIT.
AG IS A MAJOR EMPLOYER IN OUR
REGION.
ARE THE COMPANIES DOING MOST OF
THE HIRING FOCUSED ON THAT OR
IS THAT A BROAD SPECTRUM OF
INDUSTRIES?
>> IT'S A BROAD SPECTRUM.
AGAIN, THE CENTRAL VALLEY IS, I
CALL IT AN AG-BASED ECONOMY,
BUT THERE IS A LOT OF SUPPORT
INFRASTRUCTURE.
SO COMPANIES THAT ARE HEAVILY
INVESTED, I WILL CALL IT, INTO
AN AGRICULTURAL SECTOR, THEY'RE
NEEDING PEOPLE AND NEEDING GOOD
HIGH TALENT, TOP-QUALITY PEOPLE
THAT WANT TO WORK HARD AND GET
THE JOB DONE.
THEY REALLY LOOKING TO MAKE
THAT DIFFERENCE.
WE'RE SEEING IT ACROSS THE
BOARD.
>> WHAT ARE YOU SEE GOING
FORWARD.
SO MANY JOBS AND WE'RE LEARNING
THIS HERE AT THE TV STATION, WE
CAN DO THINGS REMOTELY NOW.
WE'RE FORCED INTO LEARNING THAT
ABOUT OURSELVES.
>> RIGHT.
>> PA WHAT HAS BEEN THE IMPACT
ON THAT LONG-TERM FOR JOB
SEEKERS.
>> YOU KNOW, THAT IS ONE OF THE
MOST INTERESTING THINGS AS
WELL.
WHAT WE WORKING ON IS LIKE THIS
PARTICULAR MEETING WE'RE HAVING
AS AN INTERVIEW S VIRTUAL.
SO, WE'RE HAVING TO WORK ON
SITUATIONS WHERE HELPING
EMPLOYEES UNDERSTAND HOW TO
WORK VIRTUALLY FROM HOME AND BE
ABLE TO DO AN INTERVIEW TO
WHERE THEY MAKING SURE WE
COUPLE THEM TO BE SURE THAT
THEY PROFESSIONALS.
IT'S NO DIFFERENT.
AND YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE THE
JACKTROP IS RIGHT.
YOU HAVE TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE
PROFESSIONALLY PREPARED AND
HAVE PROFESSIONAL ATTIRE ON.
MAKE SURE THAT EMPLOYER YOU'RE
INTERVIEWING FOR THAT, YOU HAVE
TO MAKE SURE YOU PRESENT
YOURSELF IN A PROFESSIONAL WAY
SO THAT YOU'RE THE NUMBER ONE
PERSON THAT IS PICKED.
EMPLOYEES WORKING FROM HOME ARE
GETTING A GREAT SENSE WITH
THAT.
EMPLOYERS ARE MORE TO SAY YES,
YOU CAN WORK FROM HOME.
>> UH-HUH.
>> AND WE'RE SEEING ON, YOU
KNOW, PROBABLY 75, 80% OF THE
PEOPLE WE TALK TO, THERE IS A
PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT GOING
ON WITH THE WORK FROM HOME WITH
PEOPLE.
>> I GUESS THIS IS WHAT WE'RE
LEARNING ON THE FLY.
CHRIS PETERSON, THANK YOU SO
MUCH.
GREAT TIPS AND GOOD
