but think about things beyond the workforce.so overall we continue to help them fill out all the areas per >> are to be rude there's not a lot of time i want everybody to comment and i some of the questions. doctor mcdougall do agree with yourself? spin it yes, i do. [laughter] and we spoke with geriatrics earlier. i am a geriatrics physician by trade. on the post patients i see her older they've allowed me to it serve in that role. >> okay. miss byers. >> thank you. i've certainly agree with that comment. i have seen firsthand and with patients to if it had not been for the primary care physician and it is setting such as a certified healthcare center potentially would not have received the care they needed in the ongoing idea of the diagnosis would certainly lead to hospitalization.. and so when you're looking at things such as chronic illnesses, which we face every day. if it is ms. managed -- if it is managed it will decrease expenses with medicare and medicaid by putting people in the hospital. when you look into primary ca

7% of the workforce is under 30.as of april of this year, 300,000 federal employees are eligible to retire. 13.5% and within five years that number will go from 13.5% to 30%. you testified that comprehensive leave for employees will help maintain the workforce for the future. do you want to elaborate a little bit on that as was pointed out earlier in the hearing. >> thank you for that question. the answer has two parts. with respect to the chairwoman, i want to reiterate it isn't doing great for most workers. it's doing okay and some of the workers that are the equivalent to the federal workforce with more education it's not doing great for middle income and lower wage workers. it's only increased by two percentage points in the last ten years. so those workers are not doing great. however, many workers, 53 million are caregivers to older adults or children with special needs. 11 million are caring for a child and an adult who has a disability or illness or injury. more than half of those are millennial's and another

workforce is under 30. as of april of this year, 300,000 federal employees are eligibleig to retire. that's 13.5% of the .5% of the entire federal workforce. and within five years that number will go from 13.5% to 30%, almost 600,000 federal employees. ms. shabo , grousing that right? >> yes, you are. >> you testified that comprehensive paid family and medical leave for federal employees will help attract and retain the workforce of the future both diverse and inclusive and younger. you want to elaborate on that? we talk about it like it's a nice thing to do and i don't know, but actually from a practical point of view how are we going to attract younger workers who will come to expect these kinds of provisions in the private sector, as the chair when pointed out earlier in this hearing, when we are not doing it in the public sector? >> thank you for the question. i think the answer has two parts. one, with all respect to the chairwoman, i do want to just reiterate that the private sector is not doing great

taylor about the hospitality workforce. they know they struggle to keep their doors open due to covid-19. paycheck protection program, restaurant revitalization fund help small businesses stay afloat on the payroll. unfortunately, it ran out of the funds. they have the confidence to travel once again. it recovers from the economic impact of this public health crisis. continuing to provide access to capital to small and minority businesses as we know systemically have been a challenge. opening up the alternative lending resources have been beneficial. the other thing that i mentioned not only challenged going back to work a lot of the employees are not just challenged with any funding from a package or unemployment but a lot of them are starting with childcare. in the resources that help small businesses and small business owners to become better. i learned a lot from those industries. to make sure we are not spending all of our money on healthcare. don't forget to small businesses we do appreciate what has happened that the

when you use the phrase workforce crisis, are i the phrase workforce crisis, are there two elements toa year now at an extraordinary pace, very, very big pressures. i assume you must hear from staff who are absolutely exhausted at the end of everything they have been through. you have current staff who need a break i guess, need to get over what they have been through, and are you saying that there are workforce issues on top of that? absolutely. nursin: issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff _ issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff went _ issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff went into _ issues on top of that? absolutely. nursing staff went into this - nursing staff went into this pandemic with what they were described to us as one hand tied behind their back. tens of thousands of vacancies within the nursing profession. but they manage their way through this pandemic giving their all. they are now exhausted. those vacancies still remain, they have not been addressed at all. if we're going to address those vacancies, we need to address nursing pay. we al

are not considered paid workforce. so that's a difficult figure. 1930 and 1940 25% of all women were in the paid workforce. that's a lot of women 1930 the entire workforce if you look at the entire workforce 21% were women by 1940 a quarter were women. so when people say well, you know women never work they came into the workforce in the 1960s and 70s. it's a lie. it's a distortion of information 1950. they were up to almost 30% close to a third of all. women were in the paid workforce and that's a very interesting characteristic for african-american women. the figure was always much higher following reconstruction african-american women had to work at very large numbers and very often. these were the most difficult jobs that they were involved in. by 1940 half of all high school students were women 40% of college undergraduates were women. this is an amazing shift given the fact that a hundred years before they're basically were no formal higher education institutions for women 1847 was mount holyoke the 1860s was vas

for nevada this is almost 25% of our workforce.or to the pandemic in 2019 nevada's job market exhibited signs of strength with the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate of around 3%, just over 1% on employment rate among workers covered by unemployment insurance. however by mid-march of 2020 is aor world begins in the impacts of the public health crisis, situation started to change dramatically. seasonally adjusted unemployment rate grows to over 6% followed by a steep and unprecedented increase to 30% in april of 2020. the highest unemployment rate in the nation i might add trade for two weeks in march initial unemployment claims increased just over 6002 over 92000 claims. the significant rise in unemployment and nevada in part reflects our states reliance on leisure and hospitality employment in the state economy. tourismm drives most of the demand and hospitality industry and covid-19 estimated tourism. at the onset of the crisis nevada's leisure and hospitality sector was the largest contributor to wage and salary employment. i

our workforce. a trained workforce that is versatile and disciplined and in backgrounds coming from the communities they are going to serve. we know from the last decade when we have had all these infectious threats that we lost over 60,000 public health jobs. about one quarter of our public health work orders is eligible -- workforce is eligible to retire. we need a data savvy, skilled workforce that works at state health departments, local health departments, and in communities. community health workers to reach the people that they serve. we need to bolster our public health labs. when we started this administration, we were doing less than 3000 samples of genomic sequencing a week. we are up to 35,000 samples a week. we didn't have the infrastructure in the lab to bolster that. finally, as you note, the data modernization. you mentioned the personal data entry, the need to bolster our data across different health departments, states, and up to the cdc. rep. delauro: dr. schuchat, would you like

small businesses employ nearly half the countries private-sector workforce. and when small businesses succeed, communities and local economies succeed. consider the varied types of small businesses you frequent, pizza parler, our shop, dry cleaner, hair salon. some have employees that are strictly full-time, others strictly part-time or alley. some have both. these are the typical instead members who employ five to ten individuals. only about 12% have human resources professional. the business owner or spouse is often the h.r. person. over 50% of nfib members do payroll and have to i discover membership to elicit one of the key points of my testimony. there is no such thing as a one size it's all policy that works for every business for every industry. i understand the good intentions behind various proposals to mandate leave, but nfib and its members have long opposed requirements for two reasons. in flexibility and cost for us, innovation and flexibility are critical to small business survival. the covid-19 pandemic showcased small firms that thrive by inno

, and we've only seen about two -- or i think still 2 million remain out of the workforce. the latest estimates suggest it's going to take about 18 months longer for women to regain that labor force participation, 18 months longer than men. and then we have some of the similar dynamics that you would often look at when women would take time off for child rearing, what level that they're reentering at. and then other women are really thinking hard about their ability to go back to work at the same level that they were at before. soledad: you use the word "burnout," and i think that's a really good word, because everyone i know is feeling stressed and completely burned out. are you seeing best practices or something that you would say in terms of strategy for business around mental health and getting people back on track financially, that you like? prof. humberd: we're seeing some companies, to your vacation point, are actually paying employees a bonus to use vacation time. so if i see you use a week of vacation time, i will give you an extra $1000 bonus. we are seeing some c

- saying that their are workforce issues on top of that?h _ issues on top of that? nursing staff enter this pandemic with what - issues on top of that? nursing staff enter this pandemic with what they| enter this pandemic with what they were described was as one hand tied behind their back. tens of thousands of vacancies within the nursing profession but they manage their way through this pandemic, giving it their all. they are now exhausted. those vacancies still remain and haven't been addressed at all and if we are going to address those vacancies we need to address nursing pgy- vacancies we need to address nursing pay. so we already know that there is a strong possibility that already within the new in trade for a new health secretary the pay review body support that will make the recommendations to him about what pay award would be granted to nurses. now, if you do not address nurses. now, if you do not address nurses pay we have no hope of addressing the crisis that we have got within the nursing workforce. filling those vacancies, ho

i agree with the workforce and increasing morale. with local stuffing law, recruiting, so time to hire by 70%. what i think is needed next is really a replacement of the fee basis for hiring, which is one third of the cbc -- with more of a tsa style fees -- hiring. but we need a consistent appropriation from congress -- so you can keep that supply chain going without disruption. i would be my recommendation on hiring. and they will need some support with congress coming out of covid, in terms of does this technology know -- has really made substantial gains on ports of entry. yes it does. the low energy porters for the person on the equal lanes are making an impact. increasing numbers of inspection as you heard. -- the technology exists. when we need to do is look at what's the investments needed and when makes the most sense -- to make it as close as possible to 100% and to look at the outcome. i will note that the border is the chain, and you will have security spillover issues between ports of entry as you've already seen a print

to date, the cbp front line workforce has had over 8,800 confirmed covid-19 cases and sadly, 32 line of duty deaths due to the virus. nteu mourns these losses with family, friends, and colleagues of these workers and greatly appreciates their service to our country. since the vaccine became available, nteu worked with cbp to encourage and assist our members in getting the vaccine and that work continues. as i've testified in the past, there is no greater roadblock to border security than the lack of sufficient staff at the ports. despite the decrease in trade and travel volume due to the pandemic, according to cbp's own staffing models, there is a staffing shortage of 1,700 cbp officers, 400 specialists and 200 cbp nonuniformed trade specialists. it leads to cargo delays, a situation that continues to plague many southwest border ports. this has led to temporary duty assignments to ensure proper staffing including at the san ysidro and otay mesa ports of entry that are currently experiencing up to four-hour delays. and this situation will only be exacerbated as the temporary bans on

that is roughly one-third of the entire cbp workforce at the ports of entry. without additional funding to support the cbp officers betweei now and it isn't of fy '22 iq, this loss of use fee funding could result in furloughs at the time when this workforce is most needed tos facilitate the flow f legitimate travel and trade as the economy recovers. even though they are severely understaffed, the results of cbp officers efforts are indisputable. for example, i cbp official recently testified before the house appropriations committee that seizures of fentanyl at the port of entry are up over 300%. it is vital that congress continue to authorize and fund additional staffing to ensure cbp officers can continue to succeed in this important work. i want to be clear. w nteu strongly supports border security, and that fight we have fought for many, many years for additional funding to increase cbp staffing at the ports. we fought for better equipment, pay and benefits for all of cbp employees at all of these things contribute to a strong and secure border and improve

it is very true that we need a highly educated workforce without question. we need to be creating opportunities for people to succeed whether they go to college or not and regardless of the color of their skin, should be an opportunity for everyone. why should be -- we be restricting benefits when we help those most in need based on the color of their skin? shouldn't we be helping everyone ? black, brown, white, everybody. that is what the american identity is about, creating the opportunity for everyone to secede -- to succeed. host: in fairfax, virginia, under $10,000. caller: i want to preface by saying that i agree with mr. johnson's proposal, and not everybody who has student debt gets a bachelors degree but i wanted to talk about the correlation between tuition and student loans. i think this kind of structurally driven nine to 10 role that forces them to raise tuition -- can you say more about for-profits and student loans. host: ashley harrington. guest: for-profits are an issue and they have been benefiting off of loopholes for years. the nine to 10

i wanted to ask what steps nasa will take under your leadership to ensure that its workforce is moreepresentative of the broader labor force, and to address discrepancies in the composition of the workforce. >> well, thank you congresswoman. it starts with me. i requested, of the president, when the white house called me back, and they said, the president-elect wants you to take nasa. i said, well, i had recommended three women to be the administrator of nasa and i will do it if you will consider nominating a person like one of the three. the president did exactly that. he nominated pam melroy, an astronaut commander, and air force test pilot. after nasa, she went to the faa. she is the real deal. the second example is that pam and i together recommended to the white house.

and the larger workforce for the nation. >> ms. easterly, last congress i introduced legislation to establish a cybersecurity advisory committee that would advise, consult with and make recommendations to the director of cisa on development, refinement and implementation of policies, programs, planning and training pertaining to the cybersecurity mission at the agency. was included and passed into law f in fiscal yea 2021. ecent cyberattacks have highlighted the importance of partnerships and working with companies topl prevent attacks our infrastructure. do you believe this committee can play a critical role against threats and particularly those to critical infrastructure? >> thank you for that question, senator sinema. i am aware of the cybersecurity advisory committee and i think it is a terrific entity to help advise the director, particularly leveraging there privatee sector, but also i kno there are entities on there that are supposed to be from state and local. i think this can be a powerful capability of the director to he

recent survey shows 570,000 women who have left the workforce are moms and women of color. the thing that is disappointing about that is if we could lean into the flex time or the flexibility or different ways of thinking about how we arrange our work and how we segment the day we can accommodate many more people. as we think in traditional ways in terms of how we work even in a remote environment you can't accommodate a lot of these women who have become caretakers whether it's the elderly or their children. this is one group that has been very effective but what we do know is the smart companies that i'm talking who are doing things like allowing people to segment work for them which also means you work the same amount of hours but you work at different parts of the day. you need to make sure there's overlapping time for that collaboration work with your group but flex time is so important to accommodate these different demands. we are in the middle of a global pandemic. static interesting to think about hybrid not just in terms of technology and location but also tempora

criswell: the workforce is my number one priority. we have such an important mission that we cannot fail at and the way to do that is to make sure we have a qualified, t rained, and supported workforce that can execute their mission. we have done a number of things to reach out to our employees. one of the biggest things is created this -- we are also going to continue to make sure we have enough personnel and provide the right training and resources and support employees need to conduct their jobs effectively and efficiently. the other piece to add is making sure our workforce is diverse and inclusive so we can represent the people we serve. >> thank you so much. i yield back. >> the gentlelady yield back. the chair recognizes --from tennessee for five minutes. we cannot hear you still. >> we are going to come back to you again. the chair recognizes ms. -- from kansas for five minutes. can you unmute yourself? mr. laturner? he's going on and off. well, uh, we will go back to florida. five minutes. >> can y'all hear me? >> got you. >>

we're going to have office of economic and workforce development up next. i asked them to come to present and zero in on the businesses. what has been provided to date in terms of grants and loans and what's anticipated to go forward. with the strong emphasis on grants. that's another thing i want to highlight. from the conversations that we had, they've taken on inordinate amount of debt. they tried to hold their businesses. they did everything they can to survive. we're week away from entire state and local economy opening back up. i believe we have to have a real conversation about what we can do to help these businesses survive. we've done a good job. some say we need to do better. we done a good job providing relief to tenants, residential tenants. lot of these -- in my district and other part of the city, folks working in the service sector, retail, also have to have jobs to go to. if those jobs are not there, we're going to have a dramatic impact on people being able to continue to pay rent and afford to stay where we are. i will hand it over to kate

, one thing to recruit the workforce but how do we develop that workforce?tative of the demographics of our nation not only do we hire them but when we get to our senior levels as well. >> great, thank you very much. i'll offer or ask as well a question about the china task force recommendations that came out this week and perhaps later we can address that. now that we can discuss this, i'll ask about the community college to visit your program. >> thank you, i look forward to. >> thank you. i know turn to representative scott. >> thank you. thank you for joining us. i know when we talk about cyber, we are typically thinking of more of the near type of competitor or something from a little further from home in central and south america. my question specific south and regard to the budget, it seems to me anytime there is a budget reduction, the only one that takes that reduction. what you anticipate in regard to transnational mineralization and sponsor the killing more people in america than any other organizations or how do you anticipate the budget reductio

so i, again, this need for training and workforce, a diverse workforce that represents their communities and can work with them is really key, too. so thank you for the question. i hope i answered it satisfactorily. >> let me move on to our vice chair, committee vice chair, ms. >> a future woman -- thank you, chairwoman. dr. . dr. geschwind, thank you for your testimony today. as you pointed out research on children with autism has been largely limited to families in western countries. not surprisingly, that disparity in research extends into care as well. many countries throughout the world have shortage of doctors specializing in childhood psychology and/or neurological issues. some countries don't even have a single university that offers a degree in child psychiatry. you mentioned the potential of exchange programs between the united states and other countries as an option for involving the global medical workforce ability to diagnosis, treat and track healthcare concerns like autism. .. >> in africa which is probably you are than the upper west side of new york. and in the idea here

however, the a does not require any proof of these parents going back into the workforce. as many continue to stay home. some employers are offering more incentives, everything from free food to pay college courses. some stores have increased starting positions to $15.00 an hour, including target best buy and k, jeweler's. amazon is offering signing bonuses as high as $1000.00 to new employees . and as it stands, retailers have twice as many job openings as they did one year ago. the only time will tell if these incentives will be enough to get people back to work. post pandemic reporting for news you choose and talk to archie. joining us to discuss the labor shortage and the effect is having on the overall economic recovery is texture. stephen hayes and professor of economics. richard, well, thanks for joining me now. and i've got a point i've been, hey, you've got a book right now. you're the author of the sickness or when capitalism fails to save us from panoramic or itself, that would be a professor. well, thanks for joining us. i want to make sure i get that done in t
