Second Chance Harry

With the workforce shortage becoming more dire, employers must look to underutilized pools of talent to find workers. Formerly incarcerated individuals can be a source. What’s the business case for giving these people a second chance, and how do employers tap into this resource?
At a U.S. Chamber Equality of Opportunity Initiative event, experts from government, business, and the nonprofit sector discussed these questions. .. ... .. . .. . .. .. . Jobs and Economy
Infrastructure Investment Is Vital
U.S. Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Suzanne Clark issued the following statement after the Senate passed the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act: “Our elected leaders are on the precipice of a historic investment in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure. Turning this long-overdue promise into a reality will grow our economy and strengthen our competitiveness for decades to come. We applaud the Senate for doing its job on a bipartisan basis, thoughtfully debating and passing much-needed infrastructure legislation that will finally invest in America’s roads, bridges, and other critical infrastructure, create millions of jobs, and improve the quality of life for every American. Now it is time for the House to continue the bipartisan progress and send this bill to the president’s desk.... . .. . .. .. . Infrastructure

Shattered Venue Operators Grant
The SBA launched a splash page for the Shuttered Venue Operators Grant (SVOG) application portal. To ensure eligible venues do not miss a window to receive assistance through the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP), the American Rescue Plan Act amended the SVOG program so entities that apply for a PPP loan after Dec. 27, 2020 can also apply for an SVOG, with the eligible entity’s SVOG to be reduced by the PPP loan amount. The PPP loan applications have been updated to reflect this change. However, under the law, entities will be ineligible for a PPP loan after they receive an SVOG.

COVID UPDATES COLORADO
FDA Gives Pfizer Vaccine Final Approval
On Monday, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) gave full approval to Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine for eligible people aged 16 and up. While it’s the first to receive this designation, all available COVID-19 vaccines have been proven safe, effective, and authorized for emergency use. The state remains focused on vaccinating as many eligible Coloradans as possible.From Jan. 1 through Aug. 16, 98% of COVID-19 cases reported in Colorado have been among the unvaccinated, which is why the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment strongly encourages all Coloradans ages 12 and up to get vaccinated without delay.
Power The Comeback
The state of Colorado is asking businesses to help Power the Comeback this summer by supporting employees who want to be vaccinated and promoting policies for COVID-safe workplaces. Vaccines are Colorado’s key to a future after the pandemic. After vaccination, Coloradans can go back to enjoying the things we like again safely. This is how we return to a more normal life. .............Power The Comeback
Resources Available To Help
The Colorado Department of Labor and Employment has compiled resources to help the business community navigate and recover from the economic impacts of the pandemic as the workforce begins
to rebound. These resources will be sent to you by signing up for our newsletter here:.........
24/7 State Agencies Require Vaccines
The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC), the Colorado Department of Human Services (CDHS), and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE), announced that agency staff members and other state employees that interact with vulnerable populations and populations living in congregate living settings will be required to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The Delta variant is increasing COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations in our state like in the rest of the country and data shows that unvaccinated people are at a higher risk of getting the COVID-19 virus and spreading it to others. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and state public health officials concur that the best way to protect Coloradans is for individuals to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
