March's labor market data for Minnesota offers a cautiously different read than the months prior. The unemployment rate held flat for the first time after consecutive increases, and the sectors leading job growth shifted toward Professional Services, Manufacturing, and Construction. Whether that signals stabilization or a brief pause remains to be seen, but it is the kind of context that should inform how employers are approaching talent decisions right now. Versique Executive, Professional & Interim Recruiting has published its latest State of the Market update with a full breakdown of what the March data means for employers across the state.

What happens when a leader steps into a role with no preconceived notions and a clear sense of mission? Joy King is finding out. Joy King, CEO of Animal Humane Society, joined Chris Dardis and Kathy Robideau on the latest episode of Unscripted with Versique to talk about a career built entirely around purpose. From criminal justice student to American Cancer Society fundraiser to Chief Advancement Officer at NMDP, Joy King has spent her career asking the same question in every room she has walked into: how do we create the biggest impact for the people and communities we serve? "It's not about the money, it's about the impact the money makes." Now 15 months into her role leading Animal Humane Society, Joy King is executing a three-year strategic plan to bring the organization back to its core mission. She walks through the work it took to grow the NMDP foundation from $5 million to nearly $20 million in annual giving, what it means to ask donors for transformational gifts, and what it felt like to receive the call offering her the greatest role of her career so far while sitting in a parking lot in the small Texas town where she grew up. If you work in nonprofit leadership, care about mission-driven organizations, or are looking for a conversation that reminds you why the work matters, this episode is worth your time.
