Massive job losses have been a hallmark of the Great Recession. In response, many states and localities – and even the federal government – have created job retention incentives to help employers keep and hire new employees. Retention incentives can be a useful tool that may undergo significant re-thinking in the next year or two as the recession recedes and states face fiscal deficits and angry voters.

Learn more about job retention incentives at IEDC’s web seminar on August 25. This web seminar will:

• Explore different structures for job retention incentives, including the federal HIRE tax exemption;
• Discuss how to include job retention clauses in tax abatement contracts; and
• Share how communities have used these incentives to save and create jobs.
