Humanist Discussion Group - Tues., Dec. 6, 7:00 p.m.

The Humanist Discussion Group meets online at 7:00 p.m. Tues., Dec. 6. The topic is "What can the US do about the workforce gap in blue and white collar jobs?" The United States has a workforce gap of some 3 million workers compared to 2020. However, growth in the economy and the effect of the need for more workers as a result of the Bipartisan Infrastructure investment and jobs act which is intended to "grow the economy, enhance our competitiveness, create good jobs, and make our economy more sustainable, resilient, and just. The legislation will create good-paying, union jobs" means there will be even a greater gap.

All are welcome.  Click here for more information about the group.
