    Where Could Reshoring Manufacturers Find Workers?

    In recent decades, manufacturing employment has fallen dramatically in the United States even as it has expanded globally. Policymakers have focused on trying to rebuild America's manufacturing base through initiatives like the CHIPS and Science Act and new tariff policies. But a crucial question remains: Who will fill these jobs if manufacturing returns to the United States? This Fed Talk will dive into research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that addresses this issue. Our discussion will highlight pools of potential manufacturing workers, including Workers who could transition to manufacturing from lower-paying industries such as retail and food service Young people entering the workforce who could begin careers in manufacturing Working-age adults not currently in school or the workforce Panelists will also explore which regions of the country have existing manufacturing clusters, where manufacturing employment has grown recently, and which areas have the strongest potential for workforce expansion. The discussion could help employers, workforce development professionals, and educators prepare for potential reshoring of manufacturing jobs by creating pathways to help people start manufacturing careers. Panelists will take your questions following the presentation.

    Dive into the Business Outlook and Trends Survey (BOTS)

    The regional analysis group at the Cleveland Fed monitors the economy across the Fourth Federal Reserve District, which includes Ohio, eastern Kentucky, western Pennsylvania, and the northern panhandle of West Virginia. One important tool the group uses to keep tabs on economic developments across this region is the Business Outlook and Trends Survey (BOTS). Join us for a conversation about the BOTS and the key role it plays in illuminating economic trends across the Fourth District. The BOTS is distributed by partner organizations twice a year and gathers data from a diverse range of businesses in the Fourth District on topics such as Labor markets Prices Demand for regional goods and services The data collected through the BOTS potentially provide insights into economic changes before they show up in published data, helping businesses understand why and how trends may be occurring. The survey also informs the Federal Reserve's monetary policy decisions, ensuring that the unique needs and conditions of the Fourth District are considered in the broader context of national economic policy. Speakers will take audience questions following the presentation.

    Understanding Inflation Expectations

    In today's economic landscape, understanding the importance of inflation expectations is valuable for everyone—from everyday consumers to business owners and policymakers. Inflation expectations are what people think will happen to prices for goods and services in the future. This Fed Talk aims to demystify this concept. Expectations about inflation matter because they play a critical role in economic decision-making which, in turn, will influence actual inflation. For example, if consumers expect higher inflation, they may spend more now. If businesses expect higher costs, they may raise prices preemptively. Both actions can contribute to higher inflation. Because we cannot directly observe inflation expectations, we use various methods to measure them. These methods include surveys, forecasts, and inflation-related financial instruments. October's Fed Talk will highlight the relationship between expected and actual inflation. Our panelists will also be discussing: The definition and relationship between the price level, inflation, and inflation expectations The importance of inflation expectations for the decisions of consumers and firms The factors that influence inflation expectations, such as past inflation rates, economic policies, and global events Why central banks are interested in inflation expectations and how central banks can influence these expectations The importance of "well-anchored" inflation expectations Measuring inflation expectations as well as the interpretation and limitations of these measures A closer look at measures of inflation expectations developed and maintained by the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland Speakers will include economists from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland's Center for Inflation Research. The Center is a leading resource to better understand all aspects of inflation through the availability of research, indicators, and educational tools. Following the presentation, speakers will take questions from the audience.

    Meeting the Workforce Needs of In-Demand Industries in Ohio

Major investments have been made in states like Ohio, Arizona, Texas, New York and Oregon. One expert will present findings from case studies about how local partners from private industry, education and nonprofits in these places have come together to both boost productivity for employers and create promising career pathways for workers, particularly workers without a college degree. The panel will then share their perspectives on the unique challenges and opportunities in Ohio, including what's going well and where they see room for future innovation and growth. Specifically, they will discuss the role of community colleges in developing workforce and training programs that are not tethered to one employer or one industry but designed to give workers transferable skills that can be used across multiple career pathways.

Panelists will discuss: The promise of the semiconductor industry, and related industries The dynamism of these industries and their changing needs What we know about effective models of cross-sector workforce partnerships both locally and nationally.
