Tara is an Associate Professor of Economics and International Affairs at The George Washington University and Chief Economist at Indeed.com.

The talent driven economy effects everyone, whether you have a job, or are looking for one. Tara shares her insights on what job seekers desire, and what opportunities and fields we are seeing growth in for available jobs.
