National Association of Counties
America’s nearly 40,000 county elected officials and 3.6 million county employees are on the frontlines of the nation’s response to the coronavirus pandemic. As the country emerges from the pandemic and grapples with the toll it has taken on our citizens, counties are responding and rebuilding. At the same time, many counties are still confronting significant workforce shortage pressures at a time with growing, critical resident needs.
