Five years have passed since Chancey made his appearance in Taking Chancey, and many things have happened—some good, some bad, and some ugly. This is the continuation of his story. Chancey is a bit older now and diabetic, and Hank and Marla have to give him two shots a day. He also has to eat high-fiber foods, he’s gone blind, and he’s adjusting to spending more time inside. But perhaps the biggest change is that Hank and Marla are selling their house and moving to an Over 55 Active retirement apartment project in a different city. Even with all this going on, Chancey still enjoys everyday adventures, including getting pollen all over his body when he spends too much time sniffing flowers on a walk and apartment hunting with his owners. Look at life through the eyes of the mischievous and loving dog navigating his later years with his aging owners in a new environment, a delightful continuation of Chancey’s adventures.

Refugee Workforce weaves dynamic stories of refugees and the companies who have engaged them with hard facts to provide readers with a compelling case for hiring refugees in the American workplace. Heated immigration debates rise to a boil as an unprecedented 70.8million, and counting, are displaced worldwide. While politicians fight to limit immigration, the U.S. economy struggles under the weight of a growing problem: a gaping hole in skilled trades workers.As of May 2019, job openings soared to over 7.5 million, leaving business owners desperate for skilled and dependable labor. With unemployment rates at their lowest in over half a century, where can these companies turn for the help they need?The labor shortage problem is growing, but we believe the answer to it has also been growing in cities across the United States: the refugee workforce.Refugees are individuals who have been forced to leave their home country because of war, persecution,ornatural disaster. Resettled in countries across the world, they must quickly acclimate to their new environments. They are resilient, and they are motivated--factors leading many refugees to take humble jobs well below their occupational and educational capacity in order to provide for themselves.In 2014, Chris Chancey began to recognize how these two needs, when put together, could serve as a solution to each other. Now, after five years of staffing American companies with the refugee workforce, he is more convinced than ever that hiring refugees is not only a socially responsible decision, but also a profitable decision.In "Refugee Workforce," author, Chris Chancey, shares his experiences, and pulls back the curtain on what he believes is the best-kept secret for the health of America's economy.
