The Trump administration claims to support expanding apprenticeship and access to good jobs - just not for women....

Trump Is Making It Harder for Women to Work in Construction
For the past few years, valuable government programs have helped women gain access to well-paying jobs traditionally held by men. That all changed when this administration took over.

Real real fun and cool time to work in wkdev when many clients/staff are vocally anti immigration anti the increasing local immigrant community. :) :) :)

We are headed for a labor supply crisis that only more immigration can solve. www.nytimes.com/2024/10/17/o...
The U.S. work force has never aged like this. In 2000, there were about 27 Americans above the age of 65 for every 100 Americans of prime working age (between the ages of 20 and 49). By 2020, this number had increased to 39. By 2040, it will have risen to 54. Because these changes are driven mostly by a decline in fertility, the U.S. work force will also soon begin to grow more slowly. If immigration into the United States is reduced, as seems likely no matter who wins the election, this will only contribute to the aging problem

No kidding! And not just how they regulate business in ways that support innovation & competition, but also #labor market policies, which are highly flexible but also provide strong #UI benefits & #employment services. Yes to Denmark! #wkdev newrepublic.com/article/1901... via @newrepublic.com
Trump Could Frankly Learn a Lot From Denmark
What the Danes get right, they get very right. Meanwhile, Trumpism isn’t working at all.

The #RaiseUS initiative to address impacts of AI on #workers is a good first step. But, as Amanda Ballantyne spells out, a true "people's strategy" will empower people to have a say in how #AI is developed and deployed. newamerica.org/insights/not... @NewAmerica @NewAmericaEd

Nothing About Us Without Us Can Actually Raise Us
