420. Which Jobs Will Come Back, and When?
Jennifer Doliak, an economics professor and director of the Justice Tech Lab, teams up with Darren Asimoglu, an MIT economist, to examine the job market fallout from COVID-19. They discuss which sectors will bounce back, the barriers former inmates face in re-employment, and the unintended consequences of initiatives like 'Ban the Box.' As automation accelerates, they explore the risk of permanent job loss and consider universal basic income as a potential safety net for displaced workers.
