A Shortage of Women

COVID-19 changed the workforce: women left, but are they returning?

The latest data from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce shows there are 8.1 million job openings in the United States and 6.6 million unemployed workers. Yikes! The numbers are almost too high to comprehend. A shortage of workers creates economic upheaval for many industries—something we can’t afford. As workers and employers, we continue to grapple with finding an answer we can all embrace. It appears the solution lies in aligning the right worker with the right career, but this begs the question, again, are we making the right moves to achieve this?
