Diversity matters. A new report from Yello shows that 52% of candidates suggest that they may not accept a job if they did not meet diverse employees in the interviewing process. Full report here: yello.co/resource/white-pape…

My parents worked hard, but the 1970 #jobmarket helped more than in 2018. We treat our civic choices — death by a thousand cuts of working-class efforts to earn & to rise — as if they were forces of nature beyond our control. Time to fix the rules.👇🏾 bidenforum.org/future-of-wor…

Technology is NOT a force of nature that’s destined take your jobs. Instead, it can be an empowering tool for the #futureofwork. @OpptyatWork CEO @Byron_Auguste explains why in this new piece at @bidenfoundation: medium.com/@byron_auguste/fu…

I met with a bunch of Chamber leaders recently & hiring good people is their number 1 challenge. Yet so many still aren’t considered for the job. Makes me think of the words of @byron_auguste whose life work is changing the equation for people who just want the shot at the job.

🙏🏾Thanks @tomfriedman We need a system of lifelong learning, built on a labor market in which workers' learning leads to higher earnings. 💥 Hire on readiness, not pedigree 💥 Tech to 'screen in' the overlooked 💥 Finance 'last-mile' re-skilling 💥 Wages rise, not just profits

I learn something every time I discuss the #futureofwork, learning, and our economy with @OpptyatWork’s @byron_auguste. Worth watching these 2 minutes on “re-wiring the labor market” to make lifelong learning—and earning—a reality for more Americans: xitter.cf/byron_auguste/status/1…

“Work” is solving problems. And the last time I checked ... we’re not running out of problems. There’s still so much work to do. youtu.be/3yfaEdYEOlU #EconSummit18 #futureofwork
