Reshaping New York’s Workforce

with Melinda Mack

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.
