In this episode, our host Kristin Wolff talks with Hunter Morancy, Senior Economic Research Analyst at the Center for Workforce Research and Information in Maine. Hunter is the point person for Maine’s Workforce Data Quality Initiative or WDQI, part of the national effort to build longitudinal workforce data systems supported by the US Department of Labor.

Hunter talks us through the key steps that helped he and his colleagues build a secure warehouse (spoiler alert: it’s not really about the warehouse!). We’re thrilled to hear about what Maine learned through the process and where it’s headed next. No doubt you will be too – Hunter’s energy is plain contagious.

Enjoy!
