We're talking about reshaping New York's workforce. The pandemic has greatly impacted our labor market, shifting from not enough workers to not enough jobs in just a few short months. It has accelerated technology, changing the landscape of the office environment to a virtual world, and shone a light on the impacts of low wages and paid leave, as well as the importance of childcare to workers. How do we address unemployment post-pandemic and prepare our workforce for jobs of the not-so-distant future? How do we reshape New York's labor market? 

This week's episode features Melinda Mack, Executive Director at New York Association of Training & Employment Professionals (NYATEP). NYATEP is New York's statewide workforce development membership association committed to providing voice, knowledge and accelerating progress in the field of workforce development in New York State.
