Description

"Off Message" presents Episode 9 of the new season of POLITICO's podcast
"Global Translations": 

The pandemic sent shockwaves through a global labor market already
upended by digitization and the green energy transition. It left tens of
millions jobless and amplified skills gaps. Even as we spent trillions
keeping the economy on life support, investment in the skills of the
future has been scarce. So how do we get the right skills to the right
people, to get the economy motoring again? Hosts Ryan Heath and Luiza
Savage speak with experts about these major labor disruptions.
