VR Jobs: New York City Economic Development Corporation is launching New York Works Industry Spotlight—a new publication series that delves into the diverse industries and initiatives highlighted in New York Works, the City of New York’s roadmap to create 100,000 good jobs over the next ten years. The inaugural report focuses on the local economy of virtual reality/augmented reality (VR/AR) technologies, their bright future in New York City, and plans for the country’s first publicly-funded VR/AR innovation lab.

Legal Help: As mentioned in our earlier post, the National Women’s Law Center has launched the Legal Network for Gender Equity to help combat sexual harassment and other forms of discrimination. They are looking for attorneys to join their forces.
