There have been wide-ranging consequences for American businesses and workers as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic. As Congress invests in economic recovery through numerous initiatives, the digital divide must be addressed with policies that explicitly place equity at their center. To that end, The National Skills Coalition has published four new Digital Skills facts sheets designed to enhance policymakers' understanding of the urgency of advancing upskilling through legislation like the Digital Equity Act. Collected in these fact sheets are relevant data on Manufacturing, Retail & Hospitality, Health & social work, and Construction, transportation & storage. |
