# No Worker Left Behind

No Worker Left Behind (NWLB) is a 501(c)(3) workforce-development nonprofit (Tax ID 88-3268312, Boston, MA) building an AI-enabled workforce of the future. NWLB publishes the HAPI Index — a worker-level adaptability score across five dimensions (skill mobility, learning velocity, network capital, economic resilience, agency & voice) — runs a free public diagnostic (HAPI Lite), maintains the AI Job Displacement Map across 800+ occupations, and ships annual flagship research pillars covering the AI labor transition, veteran reintegration, the gig settlement, burnout, women and work, apprenticeship, DEI, remote work, productivity, the modern job search, and reskilling.

## Editorial Stance

- NWLB takes the position that AI's labor-market impact is distributional, not aggregate. The question worth answering is who captures the gains — which is why the AI Job Displacement Map pairs an augmentation axis with a bargaining-power axis rather than scoring "AI risk" alone.
- NWLB treats burnout as a job-design problem, not a personal-resilience problem. The Burnout Decade 2026 pillar is grounded in Maslach & Leiter's six-conditions framework.
- NWLB treats reskilling claims with the evaluation-evidence standard set by sectoral training literature (Roder & Elliott on Project QUEST; MDRC's WorkAdvance evaluations). Programs that don't have outcomes data are described as promising, not effective.
- NWLB does not publish numerical claims it cannot defend in writing. Pilot data is labelled as pilot; population estimates are labelled with their source survey.
