Labor shortages hinder public transit rebound: APTA report
The APTA report recommended that agencies make the application process as simple as possible — from helping applicants obtain commercial driver’s licenses, to displaying a mobile-friendly employment application on websites, to making same-day offers at hiring events. To appeal to a new generation of transit workers, APTA urged agencies to create pathways for advancement and professional growth, among other steps that make operations positions an attractive step into a career in transit.

Why there’s no single formula to fix US infant-milk shortage
According to retail-tracking company Datasembly, in the week ending 28 May, the nationwide infant formula out-of-stocks stood at 74%. All companies, plus a fourth major supplier, Perrigo Co., were approached for comment by Just Food for this article and none responded. [...]the market is highly regulated in the US, with the federal government’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) being the major purchaser of infant formula - more than half of all formula is purchased with WIC benefits. The FDA conducts inspections of formula food production facilities and oversees pharmaceuticals, medical devices and cosmetics, while the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) handles inspections of red meat, poultry and eggs. Company human resources manager Carey Bidtnes says, at present, the shipments comprise powder blends of fortified cow milk, whole goat milk, and skim goat milk, exported in bulk.
