In a few short weeks, many of us will be traveling to friends and family for Thanksgiving. Some will be hosting the holiday and yet others may eschew the holiday entirely. No matter which camp you find yourself in, each induces its own set of challenges. I have fond memories of watching the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade and, as a young professional, spending the eve of the holiday in New York City watching the inflation of the floats. It is a remarkable experience.

With all the warmth of being surrounded by loved ones, the holidays can also feel isolating, depressing, or challenging. Our world feels a little out of control right now.  Very out of control for many when you see the news from around the world, from our hometowns, and from college campuses. I feel like, more than ever in recent memory, people are walking on eggshells, not sure what to say, how to say it, or if they should say anything without the risk of unwanted backlash.

The construction industry has historically been male-dominated, with women constituting less than 10% of the workforce. However, the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is ushering in a transformative shift that is bridging the gender gap and providing a more inclusive and progressive future for women in construction.

McCarthy construction in Woodland turned a warehouse into a classroom on Saturday. The construction company wants to see more women in the industry, so it's opening its doors and opportunities for Northern California teenage girls.

The whole country has seen an increase in job openings, but an economist predicts the pressures in construction will persist into 2024.
