What has been the economic toll of #COVID19 on CA women? The first year of the recession opened a wide gender divide in un- and underemployment, though these gaps narrowed during 2021. #IWD22 More on labor market dynamics during #COVID19 👉 bit.ly/3GAhuLK
CA’s economic recovery is expected to get another jolt as the state reopens on June 15. As the state prepares to re-open, our labor team takes a look at who remains unemployed and what are the prospects for their economic recovery. (1/4) 🧵👇 bit.ly/3whVFfI

📈 Just over a year ago, #COVID19 shut down CA’s economy, putting 3 million Californians out of work. As regions across California rebound, recovery varies greatly across the state. Our labor market team takes a closer look. #CAeconomy Thread 👇

Really enjoyed this valuable discussion on #WomensHistoryMonth! Thanks @CalEnergy for inviting me to share my research on women in the workforce.
We're rounding out #WomensHistoryMonth with a round of applause for the women of #CalEnergy. We also want to send a special thanks to women everywhere for helping shape the future as the world continues to recover from the pandemic. #ChooseToChallenge

Seriously, watch out for my niece, ya’ll!
S4, 2-1 PSU | Viks 7, Griz 7 This maybe shouldn't be allowed. @ggabbyhollins is DEADLY from the middle. She's got 14 kills now to match @reno0101 for the team lead. Hollins is also one dig away from a double-double. #GoViks #ProudViks

Our research finds that stacking credentials doubles the earnings return for students who initially earn certificates—upward mobility in action (though not enough students do this). #ECMCFchat bit.ly/2Z6mBQC
Q4: Share a data point or story that, in your opinion, exemplifies how #postsecondary #CTE leads to upward mobility. #CTEMonth #ECMCFchat
The economic disruptions—including job loss—from #COVID19 will likely increase the demand for job training/upskilling. The @CalCommColleges system will be essential for providing broad access to retraining at a low cost. #ECMCFchat More insights⬇️ bit.ly/3a6oSRR

A #PPICsurvey found that many Californians—across party lines—support increased funding for job training. Ensuring access to the full range of educational opportunities is key to weathering downturns & narrowing the economic divide. #ECMCFchat bit.ly/2JM05Zf

Now is the time to invest in future-oriented #CTE – it’s a win-win-win for students, employers, and the economy. @CalCommColleges are well-situated to help target opportunities to communities most in need. #ECMCFchat

In California, #CTE in the @CalCommColleges serves many students historically underrepresented in postsecondary education – their economic opportunity is key to equity and economic growth overall. #ECMCFchat

#COVID19 fast-forwarded us to the future of work, and #CTE is critical to ensuring all can build the skills needed to advance economically. It is critical we reverse the decline in enrollment at community colleges as the pandemic abates and the recovery advances. #ECMCFchat

That’s my niece! So proud ❤️🏐
4th, 2-1 Idaho | Viks 20, Vandals 17 RECORD! @ggabbyhollins has broken the record for kills in a debut by a Viking freshman with 17 now in the match. Hollins is also one dig short of a double-double with nine so far. #GoViks #ProudViks
