By now most of us in the workforce know that we entered the pandemic with a challenging labor market. Our long term slowdown has been due to many factors including a slowdown in population growth, boomers deciding to exit and millenials entered creating an overall workforce participation decline!
Julie Pastrick President + CEO President Chief Executive Officer
LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENTS DESK
IT'S ALL ABOUT SKILLS....OR LACK THEREOF
A growing number of workers were lost due to drug addiction with a staggering estimation of 800,000 prime-age men out of the workforce due to opioid addiction. In addition 1.8 M women dropped out of the workforce and at the same time there were 1.7M incremental retirements last year. This all adds up to surging labor loss woes. We all know the job postings are way up, (estimated at 43%) because demand keeps increasing faster than the growth of the workforce. The Department of Commerce tells us though that retail and food service sales are WELL above pre-pandemic norms, which is a good thing. So do we have the right workforce or not? Here is a statistic that is interesting at the least: 6.5M of 10.9M open jobs need to be filled by those without a college degree but it is well known that workforce participation is much higher among those with a B.A.. Are we encouraging trades skills, or educational pathways that take less to accomplish than four year degree programs? A misaligned pipeline of talent created by falling higher education enrollments, and skills teaching that might be out of sync with demand jobs, is a tough problem. New community college enrollment is down 15% and only 18% of credentials earned in career and tech ed programs are in demand in industry while the many requested and hoped for certifications of study are under supplied. , Amidst rising wages and short supply, jobs are evolving and we must invest in skills training that are specific enough to make workers more productive and more valuable to potential employers. For example, a marketing specialist in 2010 needed to know sales, budgeting, market research and business development; in 2020 the top four skills of a desirable marketing specialist are social media, project management, budgeting, and Adobe Indesign. Are our institutions of higher learning providing curriculum in line with 2020 standards? In closing, it's relevant that to offset rising wages and to make do with fewer workers, we need to boost productivity by upskilling current employees specifically to make them more productive and more valuable.

As the cost of payroll goes up, businesses increase prices as much as they can so that they can maintain their profit margins and stay in business.

“To pay the higher wages to our new and existing team members, we are raising our prices to hold our gross and profit margins and stay afloat.”
Mike Zaffaroni, U.S. Chamber Small Business Council
Curtis Dubay, Chief Economist, U.S Chamber of Commerce
Economists refer to this as a wageprice spiral. This happens when rising wages drive companies to raise prices, which, in turn, prompts workers to demand pay that keeps up with inflation. In an op-ed for CNN Business, Mike Zaffaroni, U.S. Chamber Small Business Council member and owner of Liberty Landscape Supply in Jacksonville, FL, wrote about how inflation and the worker shortage is impacting businesses like his:
HOW FIXING OUR WORKER SHORTAGE CAN FIGHT INFLATION
Concern for inflation is soaring among American consumers and business owners alike. According to our latest Small Business Index with MetLife, 88% of small business owners are concerned about the impact of inflation. Of those, 49% are very concerned, compared to 44% last quarter and rising from 31% in Q4 2021. Another top concern right now for business owners: the labor shortage. It’s one of the top issues we hear about from businesses across the country. But these aren’t two separate issues. The worker shortage is one of many contributing factors— alongside supply chain disruptions, strong demand, and monetary policy—fueling inflation.
The bottom line: As the cost of payroll goes up, to maintain profitability to the extent they can, businesses pass along higher labor costs to their customers. But as prices rise, workers feel they need even more money to keep up with rising costs at the grocery store or gas pump.
Fill me in: According to the latest jobs numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the U.S. has 11.3 million open jobs, yet only 5.9 million unemployed people. That’s nearly double the number of open jobs than people available to fill them. Business owners from retail to manufacturing and from hospitality to transportation have open jobs that they cannot fill. We’re also experiencing a “great reshuffling” of the labor force as workers are seeking jobs in different industries in the wake of the pandemic or rethinking their career paths altogether. It’s become increasingly difficult for businesses to find the workers they need and to retain the workers they already have. In this growing competition for employees, businesses are raising wages. According to the Small Business Index, 60% of small businesses have implemented changes over the past year to improve employee retention, and one of the most popular tactics cited was increasing wages.
“We've never had so many potential opportunities to grow, serve customers and sell goods and services, and at the same time be limited in our ability to perform because we cannot find talent. We currently have 15 job openings, and would be willing to hire even more employees in anticipation of additional future business growth. Operating while 20% understaffed forces us to increase wages
However,recommendations.growingtheworkforce to ease the worker shortage is only part of the equation. There are further steps the government can take to ease inflation. The Federal Reserve has already begun to raise interest rates in an important step toward cooling demand. Other solutions to ease inflation include cutting tariffs and increasing domestic energy production. We are calling on policymakers to take immediate action to help fix the worker shortage and curb inflation—a perfect storm causing soaring prices for American businesses and families.

• Expanding the workforce through immigration reform

to attract more team members. We then must raise wages for existing staff to remain equitable. Our entry-level wages have increased 27% in the last 12 months. To pay the higher wages to our new and existing team members, we are raising our prices to hold our gross and profit margins and stay afloat.”
Removing barriers to entering the workforce like a lack of access to childcare or having a criminal record
The solution: We can’t get inflation fully under control until we fix the worker shortage crisis. To do this, the U.S. Chamber has several policy solutions, part of the America Works initiative, that will grow our workforce. They include: Helping Americans acquire the skills they need
Improving educational and job training opportunities for the jobs of tomorrow
•
A perfect storm: In an inflationary environment, businesses raise prices when input costs rise—and input costs are rising right now not only for wages, but also for costs of goods, shipping costs, and as a result of the pandemic and U.S. monetary policy. It’s a perfect storm creating high levels of concern.

As the property manager HFHNA staff will income qualify individuals/families to ensure that their income does not exceed 100% Area Median Income (AMI, 100% AMI = less than $53,800 annually for a Flagstaff resident.) Then HFHNA proposes to offer selected families a two-year lease agreement. At the end of the lease, the tenant can reapply based on income and employment. If the lease is not extended by either FOR HUMANITY OF NORTHERN ARIZONA — HABITAT
Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona uses funds from individual donors, grants and foundations and other sources of income to develop lands and build homes for low-income families. HFHNA built 22 single family homes over a 25 year period. Starting in 2022 however, HFHNA will be exclusively building Starter Homes. These homes are architected to be affordable, enable savings for tenants and serve many families throughout the life cycle of the home. Once the construction of the homes is complete, then HFHNA will function as the manager of the units/ neighborhood.
AFFORDABLE HOUSING SOLUTIONS IN FLAGSTAFF HABITAT
Affordable Housing Need
Designed and engineered in Flagstaff by a cohort of community partners, Starter Homes are simple, efficient, stand-alone homes that build equity quickly for the Starterhomeowners.Homefamilies can then use their equity savings as a down payment for a conventional home loan. HFHNA will buy back the homes, refurbish, and resell them to new, qualifying families. Just one Starter Home will support multiple families for decades to come.
Property Lease/WealthManagement/Low-CostBuilding
The Solution: Starter Homes
STARTER HOMES
In response to the City of Flagstaff's declared Housing Emergency, Habitat For Humanity of Northern Arizona (HFHNA) has developed the Starter Home Program to add multiple well-built sustainable homes to the affordable housing market inventory each year for the purchase by low-to-moderate income families.
One of the most significant challenges currently facing residents of northern Arizona is affordable housing and the real estate market's equity disparities. According to a recent study by Northern Arizona Multiple Listing Service, the median price of a Flagstaff home has topped $710,000, a 66% increase over 2019. Many northern Arizona residents are trapped in an endless cycle of paying high rents while never being able to save enough for a home purchase or to gain equity. One of the largest challenges facing northern Arizona is the ability to attract and retain the workforce critical to success.

The first two starter homes are currently under construction on the corner of O'Leary Street and Butler Avenue on a parcel of land owned by the City of Flagstaff. Homes will be built with support from local organizations such as Coconino Community College, which is including the build as part of its two semester Home Construction Pathway Program. Other organizations contributing to the program include Wespac, Vintage Partners, SWI engineering and Buzzard Construction.

party, HFHNA staff will then refurbish the unit and lease to another qualifying applicant. The lease payments would be about $1000 per month and do not include utilities or any other costs. HFHNA will be the financial fiduciary of rental payments disbursing and savings funds for NAUF, the tenants and HFHNA. A percentage of each rent payment will be distributed through a shared equity saving program for the tenant. The goal of the program is to accrue sufficient savings to be able to afford a median priced home in the greater Flagstaff area.

MARY KERSHAW
Executive Director & CEO MUSEUM OF NORTHERN ARIZONA
How did you come to be in this profession? I came into museums via an in direct route. After graduating from University of Pennsylvania, I earned a Masters in Medieval Archaeology at University College London. I worked as a field archae ologist in Philadelphia and the UK. From there I entered the museum field as Curator of Archaeology in Harrogate UK. My next move was to Museum Director, and I haven’t looked back since. Where do you see the biggest growth potential in the field of museums? One of the things I love about the museum field is that it is con stantly evolving. As MNA, we are becoming more focused on education, audience, and the use of digi tal technology. The potential for museums to combine authenticity with experiential interpretation of fers exciting new opportunities. What has been your biggest workplace thrill or accomplishment? This is a tough one. Creating a community archaeology program in the 80s that is still going strong; being recognized for excellence in museums at a reception with the British Prime Minister at #10 Downing Street; celebrating the centennial of the Museum of Art in Santa Fe with 7,600 people – just some of the great accomplish ments. I know MNA will bring many more as we approach our centennial in 2028. From whom do you seek professional advice?

How would you describe your personal brand? Please explain how you drive your brand in daily business. I am evangelical about the benefit of museums in society. Working with the team at MNA, we work hard to make the museum the very best it can be – for visitors, for staff and volunteers, and for our com munity. For example, our next exhibition celebrates the long history of archaeology at MNA and how the work of that team has benefited our community by recording and preserving precious traces of the past. What do you do for fun? I enjoy travelling to experience different cultures, great food, and beautiful landscapes. Closer to home I enjoy cooking, gardening, taking walks, and watching films. Of course, I love visiting museums. What inspires you? I am inspired by the amazing people I work with. The staff, volunteers, and Trustees at MNA are talented and dedicated people who all go the extra mile to make MNA a great institution and are fun to work with. I learn something new from them every day and they make going to work a pleasure. Supported by our members and donors, we work together to create an enduring legacy of science and art. What about Flagstaff makes it the best place for you to live? The rich cultures of Northern Arizona, and the stunning land scapes. Authenticity, art, science, culture. A community that has a powerful affection for the Museum of Northern Arizona and wants to partner with and support the mu seum in whatever way they can.
To what do you attribute your success?
Passion, patience, persistence. Mostly to my supportive and tal ented husband, Peter, a creative filmmaker who inspires and encourages me. What does it feel like for MNA to attract Native American Tribes and Hispanic Arts and Culture for the community's enjoyment? It is an honor and a privilege to work with the diverse communities of the Colorado Plateau, celebrating those cultures through programming and partnerships including our summer Heritage Festival of the Native Peoples of the Colorado Plateau, and with Nuestras Raices and the annual Celebraciones de la Gente Festival in October. How does the Museum decide on its exhibits which are so motivating and powerful Our main criteria for selecting exhibits at MNA is based on our mission and vision. The Museum of Northern Arizona is a gateway to understanding the Colorado Plateau, engaging local, regional, and global audiences with life-en riching knowledge and experienc es. We illuminate the connections between people, place, and time through science, art, and culture. Tell us about the Collections Center and what impact has that made on MNA. Many people don’t know MNA occupies 200 acres of land with 30+ buildings including the 2009 Easton Collection Center (ECC), named in honor of donors Betsy and Harry Easton. The ECC pro vides a stable and secure environment for more than 800,000 anthropology, biology, geology, and fine arts artifacts which are a well-used resource for research, learning, inspiration, and enjoy ment. We welcome visitors to ECC through our programming and by appointment.

For these reasons and more, the National Assoc. of Manufacturers, the U.S. Chamber and AZ Chambers and dozens of local chambers across Arizona and America oppose this legislation. Enacting the bill will result in harmful impacts on business capital and investment. Note: earlier versions of this bill had a carried interest tax and a higher "book minimum tax," but those items were renegotiated by Arizona Senator, Kyrsten Sinema, who has said repeatedly she does not want to raise taxes on employers. The bill faces a few hurdles, and will be on its way to the President’s desk before too long. The Senate Parliamentarian, whose job it is to ensure the bill only deals with spending to meet the minimum vote threshold of 50+1 to pass the Senate, gave the bill a thumbs up over the weekend – clearing the first major hurdle. The bill then survived a barrage of amendments on the Senate floor during the debate process in an attempt to either strengthen (enlarge) the tax increases (Sen. Bernie Sanders), or weaken the bill's tax and spending implications (Republicans). Finally, the Senate's final version of the bill which passed Sunday afternoon will now go to the House of Representatives for a vote the end of this week. The House has a thin Democrat majority, and whose moderate Democrats are anticipated to question the timing of IRA2022's tax increases and spending.
Just a few weeks ago, the U.S. Senate finalized the "CHIPS & Science Act of 2022" which is a $52B spending bill aimed at increasing domestic semiconductor production. In the 1990s, 37% of chips needed in American manufacturing were produced in the U.S. versus 12% today. The bipartisan bill, which also passed the House and was signed by President Biden, is designed to make us manufacturers less reliant on foreign-produced (China) chips. The Greater Flagstaff Chamber supported the legislation over many months leading to its passage, and we remain optimistic the investments made from this bill will have a positive impact on US supply chains for our local Flagstaff businesses and residents.
Regarding inflation, the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO) said yesterday, "In calendar year 2022, enacting the bill would have a negligible effect on inflation, in CBO’s assessment. In calendar year 2023, inflation would probably be between 0.1 percentage point lower and 0.1 percentage point higher under the bill than it would be under current law, CBO estimates." Regarding the business tax increases, CBO stated, "In CBO’s assessment, the proposed new corporate minimum tax would reduce the incentive for those large corporations to invest, primarily by limiting the tax benefit of accelerated depreciation and by decreasing the after-tax return on their new investment."
Build Back Better - 3.0 Thinking back to President Biden's January 2021 inauguration, the Administration and Democrat leaders in Congress (after passing the $4T American Rescue Plan Act - ARPA - in April 2021) pushed for a $4.5T (trillion) spending bill with $2.6T in tax increases they dubbed "Build Back Better." Build Back Better's (BBB) initial version did not get off the ground due to size, and was subsequently whittled down to $2.4T in new spending and $1.5T in tax increases last fall (version 2.0). When inflation arrived in Q3 of 2021, talks of a BBB 2.0 with trillions in spending and tax increases went nowhere. With Democrats on the cusp of the mid-term elections, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin struck a deal with Sen. Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (NY) on $400B in new spending, and $300B in new taxes. This new federal spending and tax increase plan is now known as the "Inflation Reduction Act of 2022."

CHAMBER SUPPORTS AND OPPOSES
IRA2022 has billions of dollars in new spending directed at "climate change," including tax breaks for people buying EV vehicles, & tax breaks for solar and wind investment. The bill, as of this morning has new federal taxes on businesses, particular manufacturers, by way of the "book minimum tax" - essentially a new tax on assets, a tax on stock buybacks, and price controls on pharmaceuticals.

Cabins manufactured by Cavco Industries and Lakeside Clayton Park Models will also be offered for sale beginning in November. Village Camp is also planning to offer 10 furnished safari tents beginning in the summer of 2023. “We’re receiving lots of phone calls and email communication about Village Camp Flagstaff,” Hagood said, adding that the interest is coming not only from RVers, but Phoenix area snowbirds who want a summer retreat cabin or a place to stay while they enjoy skiing and other outdoor activities in winter.

HOPE CONSTRUCTION LESS-TINY HOME
Hope Construction, a green building expert, is providing innovative solutions to Flagstaff's housing crisis by presenting Tiny House Village Flagstaff.
Located on Fourth Street and Soliere Avenue, the Tiny House Village will be built on a leased-land development where residents own the homes but lease the land that they're on. The land lease includes water, sewer, trash snow removal, property taxes, and community amenities. With six floorplans available for purchase, the Village also offers lot spaces if home owners already own a tiny home and are looking for a place to settle on. Zoning laws for tiny homes tend to be exclusive so the Tiny House Village offers a rare opportunity to open this more sustainable living solution to Flagstaff residents.
Hope Construction believes that there are many perks to living in a tiny home: less upkeep and maintenance, lower cost of living, reduced utility bills –which also means less environmental impact.
