New York Times Reporter & Author Emma Goldberg: Exploring the Future of the Workforce

Published author and award-winning journalist Emma Goldberg is on a mission: to understand why people do the things they do. Curiosity at an early age drove her to ask questions about human behavior, and the role of reporter provided the perfect vehicle for doing just that: asking people “why?”. Now a highly-recognized business journalist at the New York Times, Emma covers the future of work. Why are 37-year-olds afraid of the 23-year-olds who work for them? What is “techlash”? How do you prepare if you are worried you might lose your job? Emma covers all of these hot topics and more on her beat and offers invaluable insight into today’s workforce. And, her book, Life on the Line: Young Doctors Come of Age in a Pandemic, follows young doctors who entered the healthcare workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic and received universal acclaim, including the Washington Post calling the book “essential reading.”

Tune in to this week’s episode as Emma sits down with hosts Dee Martin and Ihna Mangundayao to discuss the modern work force and the role young people have in it. They also discuss the trends in online/remote work, young doctors experiencing burnout from their pandemic practices, and the debate that rages over the use of Comic Sans—use it or not?
