The federal government has approved billions of dollars in incentives for infrastructure and chip-manufacturing projects across the country.

We also sit down with Celeste Warren, vice president of Merck’s Global Diversity and Inclusion Center of Excellence, to discuss how employees at all levels can help build a more inclusive workplace with her new guide How to Be a Diversity and Inclusion Ambassador.
