Destiny World Church in Austell, Georgia is sponsoring a Town Hall meeting to discuss issues relating to jobs, homes, mortgages, investments, health care, future employment and opportunities. The prophet Hosea wrote that our people are destroyed from lack of knowledge. We believe this forum offers the community an opportunity to ask questions, learn from knowledgeable professionals, and, hopefully, lay the ground work for attendees to connect with additional information and resources that can help them survive, grow and prosper during these turbulent economic times.

The Economy, Jobs and the Power of Knowledge

U.S. businesses have lost 5.7 million (non farm) jobs since December 2007 and 3.9 million jobs in just the last 6 months.  Many of these (20^th century) jobs will disappear as we know them today. In addition, most people affected by these lay-offs, who may be undereducated, unskilled, or over qualified.  These people will need to retrain and retool for 21^st century type jobs that require greater education, high-tech skills, certificates of completing special training and an ability to manage information that solves complex problems or produces new knowledge for high-growth businesses and industries.

Speakers

Vivian Richardson, Regional Director, Department of Labor
Richard Goode, Mortgage Banker and Planner, Suntrust Corp.
Dr. Ciyata Coleman, Economist, Internal Revenue Service
