Despite threats to job security such as layoffs, the rise of return-to-office mandates, and the prospect of artificial intelligence taking over jobs, workers have realized what's akin to letting a genie out of the bottle: Their jobs don't have to be just jobs.
The push to make jobs back into careers, and good jobs, is just beginning.
"And we've also seen just the massive gap between CEO salaries and frontline worker pay."
Even so, there's been what Bruno called a "national consciousness raising" around what a quality job is.
And thinking toward a future full of quality jobs is a message workers are taking to heart.
