Bosses can cause problems at work when they aren't mentally available, haven't laid out clear objectives and fail to communicate, writes Dan Rockwell. To avoid these problems, it's important to understand how your words make people feel, admire the people on your team and allow yourself to express vulnerability, Rockwell writes.

Gregarious leaders may be more visible, but more introverted leaders can play to their strengths of thinking deeply and their planning and decision-making skills to inspire their teams, writes Lolly Daskal. "Introverts are especially effective leaders for an organization that has a creative and energetic workforce, because they draw out that energy even more," Daskal writes.

The Labor Department will provide $3.4 million to extend more opportunities to women in pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeship programs through recruitment and training. "The Women in Apprenticeship and Nontraditional Occupations grants will increase workforce pathways for women entering the building trades at a crucial time, as the Biden-Harris administration is heavily investing in infrastructure to create jobs in the clean energy, technology and manufacturing sectors," said Labor Secretary Marty Walsh.

Family Workation, Brave Generation and startup Boundless Life are among the companies and organizations offering child care, education, co-working spaces and other family services for parents who want to work abroad for extended periods. "In popular workcation locations, I expect there will be an increase in local schools and daycares becoming more international and increasing the flexibility of their services, so they always have capacity left for incoming kids of 'workcationers'," says Pieter Manden, WorkMotion's head of trust and employer compliance.

In carrying out its routine annual revisions, the Labor Department has discovered employers added around 462,000 more new jobs in the year up to March 2022, or 39,000 per month, which indicates an even stronger job market than its previous estimates showed. "It was hard to find words to describe how strong the job growth was over those 12 months, and now it's even stronger," said Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute.

Initial unemployment claims fell by 2,000 to 243,000 last week, according to the Labor Department, indicating that demand for labor remains robust. Meanwhile, the four-week moving average of claims reached 247,000, a slight increase.

Although buying term papers violates every college's ethics code, the practice is as popular as ever, and the companies that produce the content try to present themselves as legitimate. Dave Tomar once made $60,000 a year writing term papers for others, but now, as a whistleblower, advises colleges how to fight the growing trend. According to Tomar, it isn't the stereotypical lazy or entitled students taking advantage of the practice: It's ones who are desperate. "That's the student that I think is your likeliest future cheater -- the one who is struggling, overwhelmed and in over their heads and -- while wrongheaded in their thinking -- essentially thinks that cheating is the only option for them," Tomar says.
