What Does "Top Talent" Think about Working in States that Ban Abortion?

[Dana7360]

This is a very interesting study.

I'm sure that the conservatives won't believe it or even click the link but intelligent people will.

Texas and any state that enacts legislation like the one Texas has enacted, are not going to get well educated people to their state. They won't get business to come to their state and they will see people leave their state.

It's very telling, the consequences of passing such laws, people and business won't stand for it.

It's going to cause those red states to fall even farther behind.

From the study:

Data suggest:

• Large majorities of top talent support abortion access and consider the issue part of gender equity in the workplace;
• Two-thirds say the Texas ban would discourage them from working in the state;
• 64% say they would not apply for a job in a state that passed a ban like Texas';
• About half says they would consider moving out-of-state if their lawmakers
  passed a similar ban.

The college-educated workforce values abortion access and sees the issue as part of gender equity in the workplace.
Roughly eight in ten respondents (79%) do not want Roe v. Wade overturned. The same proportion (80%) feels access to abortion is an important part of women's rights and gender equity - 63% feel this strongly.
Respondents also connect abortion to other issues. Two-thirds (65%) would guess that states that protect abortion rights and access are more likely to have good health care, good-paying jobs, and a higher-quality of life v. those that ban or restrict abortion access (10%).

Majorities across segments say this law would discourage them from working in Texas:

• Women (74%)
• Men (58%)
• Gen Z (73%)
• Millennials (69%)
• Black employees (60%)
• Latino/a employees (64%)
• AAPI employees (62%)
• Recent graduates (67%)

Good luck with that Texas and any state that passes the same anti abortion law.

"Top talent"?

 

[RodISHI]

I suppose you murderous peeps will have to keep your f'd-up "top talent" all for yourselves.

 

[Coyote]

People seem to think that low taxes and business friendly financial infrastructure are all that is needed to attract good jobs but that isn’t really the case. Not in jobs that require skilled educated labor. People are looking at what is there where they they are moving, the culture, the schools, etc. The younger educated generation is far more supportive of diversity, lgbtq and women’s rights. When states attempted to institute laws against gay rights, business was affected.

Do you support the death penalty?

 

[rightwinger]

More than Abortion, I can see many top level businesses reconsidering moving to Texas because of Voter Suppression, weak COVID vaccination rates, Gay rights, Conservative education reform

 

[whitehall]

It looks like a little less than half of the people polled think that Texas has done the right thing in protecting the lives of the unborn when it comes right down to it. When you factor in peer pressure and selected demographics in the poll, the anti-abortion faction might be in the majority. I wonder how people would react to a poll about late term abortion aka partial birth abortion where full term infants are stabbed in the back of the head and their brains sucked out.

Ifs and buts...candy and nuts,,,,,,,,reality is people ARE fleeing lib hellholes///CA....NY........

WOW!!!!

We apparently have the recipe to ensure I don’t have to hire people I wouldn’t want to hire anyway; if I were ever to open a business. All I have to do is open it in a state that puts the life of a child and personal responsibility ahead of a woman getting to avoid the consequences of her bad decision.

Define Top Talent.
Wall Street will define Top Talent as young, unattached and as disposable the moment Business Visas show up.
The majority of people I know are tops in their scientific fields and find these young people to be morally despicable.

Yeah, people are going to stop fleeing the idiocy and high taxes in California, because abortion is the only thing that matters. And only smart people care about that issue. DURR

 

[Mac1958]

If we stay at our present trajectory, going from state to state will be like going from country to country.

Evidently this is what we want.

More than Abortion, I can see many top level businesses reconsidering moving to Texas because of Voter Suppression, weak COVID vaccination rates, Gay rights, Conservative education reform

Corporations move where the cost if operations is the lowest while not losing the factors that appeal to business people...entertainment, both moral and immoral.

 

[RodISHI]

Do you support the death penalty?

Yes for the most severe of animalistic humans I sure do but there is no comparison to killing a baby in its mother's womb to euthanizing rabid killers except maybe in your fuck'd up mind.

This used to be what was actually neat art.

This is what is considered cooled art these days.

Only the brain damaged would not be able to discern the difference.

With conservative courts refusing to follow settled, accepted precedent in defense of citizens’ rights and protected liberties, and Republican lawmakers pursuing an agenda of voter suppression and disenfranchisement, the people must use every means available to oppose rightwing tyranny, including corporate citizens refusing to conduct business in Republican-controlled states determined to violate the rights and protected liberties of the residents of those states.

 

[rightwinger]

All things being equal…yes

But those Corporations need to get a commitment of most employees to move. They also send a signal to their customer base……We proudly reside in Texas!

How many consumers will boycott businesses that reside in Texas because of Abortion, voter suppression and COVID?

 

[Canon Shooter]

It's very telling, the consequences of passing such laws, people and business won't stand for it.

Big business couldn't give a shit about abortion access. They're worried about how they'll be perceived by those on the pro-choice side of the argument. It's their bottom line they're concerned with, and nothing else...

Don't worry you'll still have those jabbers around to support your big businesses until they all expire. Us non jabbers that actually have brains enough to not let big pharma exploit our immune systems with an AIDs like virus can play that boycott game too.

Yep Dana, none of these figures surprise me in the slightest. Colleges and pro scouts in Texas will also have a tougher time recruiting young talent.

And no company thinking about moving to high growth areas like DFW are going to do so as they know they won't be able to convince their top talent to move there. Ditto with conventions. Bet they already have some cancellations on corporate meetings and events.

They made their bed. It will be fun to see them lie in it.

Employers may reconsider moving to Texas due to new abortion law

Companies might be reluctant to move to Texas due to restrictions on abortion, voting rights and lack of COVID mandates.

Voter suppression? <snicker>
Businesses look at what's best for their bottom line...for the most part.
A business friendly environment, that's why they are leaving Ca....even with the "Gay Rights", "COVID vaccination rates", "Liberal education reform".
Who are you trying to fool?
