The Future of Boston's Workforce: The Path Forward from COVID-19
By: Will Dorsey Eden, Joseph B. Fuller and Rachel Lipson
Abstract
In response to the unprecedented disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic on Greater Boston’s economy and workforce, the Boston Foundation, Skillworks, and the Project on Workforce at Harvard partnered to convene workforce leaders from across the region to address how might Greater Boston’s organizations work across institutional lines to address the labor market challenges that the pandemic had laid bare. In an effort to answer the medium- and long-run implications for the workforce, leaders sought to understand the region’s response to the crisis, as well as remaining needs, challenges, and opportunities. Through interviews and surveys with these leaders during the summer and fall of 2020, the Project on Workforce at Harvard collated and analyzed responses from a diverse group of stakeholders. Our intention in this work is to identify and frame areas of consensus for a cross-sector agenda for collective action.
