Start with the building block of all narrative.

In a village of La Mancha, the name of which I have no desire to call to mind, there lived not long since one of those gentlemen that keep a lance in the lance-rack, an old buckler, a lean hack, and a greyhound for coursing.

"Although jewelry sales have been robust throughout the pandemic, the lack of skilled labor is one of the biggest challenges to the industry's continuing success," says MJSA President/CEO David W. Cochran. "We have members across all sectors of the industry asking us what they can do to find skilled workers. It's a nationwide crisis, but through our Jobs Board and now the e-newsletter, we're helping to address those concerns. We've already heard from members who have found new hires thanks to this initiative."
