Over the past year, the Fourth Economy team has engaged with eight communities around the country as they have worked to mitigate the economic impacts of a global pandemic. In this webinar, we will share some of the key lessons we have learned by partnering with these communities, covering child care and women in the workforce, remote work and broadband infrastructure, impacts on vulnerable workers, and unique industry-specific trends. Finally, we will share future-looking considerations for what a post-pandemic economy may have in store. The information we share is critical to consider as communities move forward.
