About this listen

Michelle Wein is the director of research and regional initiatives at WIN, Michigan's Workforce Intelligence Network.

She explains the research that WIN does, and the numbers they've looked at before and during the pandemic. How has the labor market in Michigan been hit, and where do we stand now? Are these jobs coming back?

Michelle talks about the value of the Michigan Works program to help job seekers find new employment, as well as the ways WIN helps employers think about hiring decisions.

We look to the future - where are the job opportunities now, heading into 2021, and beyond?

What's her best advice for those seeking employment, and those seeking employees?

Finally, we look at COVID-19's immediate impact on the workforce, and dispel the myth that opening the economy and controlling the pandemic are mutually exclusive.
