Worker shortage draws concern

A consultant will speak locally Monday about the impending nationwide work force shortage that will be caused by retiring baby boomers and a lack of younger people ready to take their place.

New Generation Consulting's Rebecca Ryan will discuss "Hot Jobs -- Cool Communities" at 5:30 p.m. at the Mission Memorial Auditorium. The speech will be open to the public.

The talk is being sponsored by the city, the Urban Land Institute, Outrigger Hotels and Resorts, the Hawaii Chamber of Commerce and the state Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism.
