COVID-19 Coverage: Another Barrier to Employment for Low-Skilled Workers?
As the labor market evolves, so do skills demands. While average Americans have access to good education and training opportunities to help them build their skills, other populations struggle. Those with mental and physical impairments, people with criminal records, older workers and others struggle with access to training and employment. So, how can we ensure everyone in the modern economy has access to the training needed to find meaningful work?
Brent talks to Steve Preston, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries International and the former Secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Together, they discuss the dignity of work, the impacts of COVID-19, and the changing nature of the labor market.
