DEI isn’t needed to treat employees well. Most people before 2020, certainly before 2017, couldn’t even have told you what DEI stood for.

2021-2023 woke DEI companies: almost everyone. The tide has been turned in the Woke War.

UK poll. Would it be the same in the US?

We had diversity classes at the company I worked for, in the 1990's. It wasn't just race or gender, it was also about accepting people that didn't share you views or religious or non-religious thinking.

Re: Culture Wars
It’s interesting as a society that we have to teach adults (including business leaders and lefty activists) about these things.

Stupid libs.
https://www.businessinsider.com/egg-pri ... ree-2025-1"Large eggs on the West Coast right now are $8.86, and that's because California and the Pacific Northwest mandates cage-free eggs on shelves," Rispoli said, adding that bird flu was exacerbating the issue. "Any state where cage-free supplies are mandated are going to face additional challenges just because of the amount of cage-free production that's been lost to the bird flu," she said.

Company policy for that company. Lost a young co-worker, my daughters age, from my current company when a 3rd person in a call didn't like what he said.

Re: Culture Wars
Oh I’m sure I did and I was around enough Gen Z. However, the GenZ I was around we’re generally not the crybaby types and obviously not the ones that weren’t living in their parents basement. The ones I was around were kids that wanted to make something out of themselves instead of waiting for Daddy to pay the bills.

So you’re opposed to treating all people with respect? You believe punching down on marginalized groups is the way to success?
Fascinating.

Discussion and Conclusion
This study shows that state-level abortion bans following the Dobbs decision increased net migration outflows, highlighting that reproductive healthcare access has a measurable effect on residential decisions. The effects are particularly large and growing over time for single-person households, suggesting an outsized influence of reproductive rights on younger, more mobile populations.
If our most recent estimated effect is sustained over a five-year period, it would imply a 0.98% population loss for states banning abortion as opposed to protecting or maintaining abortion access. This “disamenity effect” on population size is comparable to the impact of a 10% increase in local crime rates (Cullen and Levitt, 1999) or one-tenth the effect of community exposure to a toxic release inventory chemical (Banzhaf and Walsh, 2008).
More broadly, our results show that reproductive rights policies can significantly affect where people choose to live. It will be important for future research to evaluate impacts on state economies and labor markets. States with abortion bans may face challenges in attracting and retaining workers, especially Based on the effect in the second quarter of 2023 (4.9 per 10,000) multiplied by 20 quarters. younger workers who represent future economic potential. These population flows and demographic shifts could affect a wide range of economic factors from tax bases to housing markets to the availability of workers in key industries.
It will be important for future research to quantify such broad-based economic effects, along with addressing several additional questions. What are the economic consequences for those who relocate versus those who do not? Similarly, who is being deterred from living in states with restricted abortion access? The fact that highly educated individuals tend to be more mobile (Molloy et al., 2011) and more supportive of abortion access (Pew Research Center, 2024) suggests potentially significant heterogeneity across education levels, with important implications for state economies. Finally, future research should explore how businesses respond to these changes, as their actions could either alleviate or exacerbate economic effects.
