How Has Work Changed in the Wake of Covid? | KQED Forum

As part of our series looking back on how the pandemic has changed us over the past 5 years, we examine the way we work. From working remotely to handling childcare needs to coping with being an essential worker, Covid forced innovations and exposed fault lines in the nation’s employment structure. We’ll talk about what we learned and we hear from you: How did the pandemic change your job and how you think about work? Guests: Nicholas A Bloom: Professor of Economics, Stanford University Joan Williams: Founding director of the Center for Work Life Law; UC Hastings College of the Law; Author of 'White Working Class: Overcoming Class Cluelessness in America' and the forthcoming title, 'Outclassed: How the Left Lost the Working Class' Aki Ito: Chief Correspondent, Business Insider 👉Subscribe and watch a new episode of Forum every week: www.youtube.com/kqednews?=sub_1 Follow us on: Instagram - @kqed_forum // https://www.instagram.com/kqed_forum/ Facebook - KQED Forum // https://www.facebook.com/KQEDForum Bluesky - @kqedforum.bsky.social // https://bsky.app/profile/kqedforum.bsky.social Discord - https://discord.com/invite/kqed About Forum: Forum tells remarkable and true stories about who we are and where we live.
