A woman in her mid-30s told me how intimidated she felt to make
the shift after more than a decade in the "wrong" unfulfilling
job. Although it's a scary time with a lot of economic turmoil,
a lot is changing post-pandemic -- and some industries are
likely to shrink or change (for a time or for good), like
hospitality, travel, events, even some forms of retail, etc. It
might be a good time to discuss making this change, whether
you're doing it out of need or because you finally want to take
the leap into a new field. We could discuss with experts if you
should go back to school, which industries might be hardest to
enter post-pandemic, how much money you should have saved before
you take the leap, how to gain experience in a new field, etc.

Category: Public Policy and GovernmentEmail: query-b686@helpareporter.net
Media Outlet: Engadget
Deadline: 7:00 PM EST - 20 August
Query:
I would like some expert commentary on the situation in
California as Lyft / Uber halt operations in the state as a
response to AB5. Some starter questions: 1/ What does AB5
require these companies to do? 2/ Why is it so hard for these
companies to comply with the law? 3/ The law was passed last
year, why did it take them almost a year to react? 4/ Any
thoughts on the franchising model that was proposed recently? 5/
Uber recently said it can't hire all of its drivers because it
would "take too long." Is this a valid reason? 6/ What now? Does
ride-hailing have a future in California? 7/ Some thoughts as to
the ballot measure proposition 22 and what that promises to fix.
Requirements:
Would definitely prefer expert analysts as well as those
well-versed in labor laws. Would prefer college/university law
professors as well as industry analysts.
