At 7 p.m. tonight, join New Jersey 101.5 host Eric Scott as he and his guests explore what can be done to help both businesses and workers who are struggling in a post-pandemic world.

“The economic recovery is underway, yet many businesses are struggling to hire and many workers face challenges reentering the workforce,” Scott said.

The town hall will be live on air — which you can listen to on our website or the free NJ101.5 app — and at Facebook.com/nj1015/live.
