Millions of Americans have lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic. What’s getting less attention is the difficulty of starting a new job when so many of them have gone remote.

Guests:
Connie Wanberg is a professor in the work and organizations department at the Carlson School of Management.
Jody Thompson is co-founder and CEO of CultureRx, a professional services firm.
