On this episode of  Talent Wars, a podcast from DCI, host Patience Fairbrother is joined by DCI’s SVP of Research Robyn Domber to discuss the research study that is this podcast’s namesake: Talent Wars.

Tune in for insights on:  

  • The history behind the study and changes over the last eight years 
  • How different generations and occupations make location and job decisions 
  • How workforce impacts site selection decisions
