What Barriers Keep Area Residents From Work? [Video]

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – A community needs assessment confirms what business and workforce organizations long believed about the barriers keeping many Mahoning Valley residents from work.

Youngstown Area Goodwill Industries, which is partnering with the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber, conducted the community needs assessment over the past few months.

“I think the report identifies, actually, a spectrum of barriers – from child care, transportation, behavior, health issues, financial literacy issues. There’s quite a range of barriers,” said Guy Coviello, Regional Chamber president and CEO.
