Widespread furloughs and layoffs, business closures, and high rates of unemployment were all fallouts of it—but the supply chain issues, which started early in the pandemic, helped bring to light the fragility of the national economy. As the world grapples with supply chain shortages, Valley Food Storage reviewed how the coronavirus has affected the supply chain and what it means for consumers. COVID-19 was identified in the central China city of Wuhan in January 2020. Shortly after, a wave of closures and quarantines in China—which were intended to slow the spread of this new virus—caused factories to close and supplier production to come to a halt. This had an immediate impact on the supply chains that rely on trade from China—the world’s second-largest economy—including the U.S. supply chains, which import everything from car parts to medical supplies to consumer tech from overseas. With no overseas sources to rely on, the U.S. supply chains began to crumble, and shortages of everything from video games to pharmaceuticals became commonplace. But while China’s factories and shipping businesses were quickly reopened, the effects of the closures on the U.S. supply chain continued well after overseas businesses were back up and running. There is still fallout from the nation’s reliance on overseas trade. The impact of the pandemic on the supply chains across the globe are likely to be felt for some time—including the supply chain shortages that have caused frustration and chaos since early in the pandemic.

The changes in the labor force didn’t happen overnight. In the 1950s, women were relegated to roles that seemed feminine and focused on nurturing, such as nursing and teaching. High school girls were taught to cook, clean, and sew with the hopes of finding a husband. Minorities, including Blacks, Native Americans, and Hispanics, often saw opportunities for which they were qualified handed to others who were less ethnic, less female, and less diverse. The entrepreneurial spirit did not belong solely to white men though. The gender wage gap has narrowed, due in large part to gender diversity initiatives in the 1980s and 1990s, and inclusion has come to include people of all ethnicities, cultures, and colors. Companies have made great strides to make sure they include everyone and do not discriminate. The glass ceiling that once seemed an impenetrable barrier has cracked—though there is still far to go. This couldn't have happened without the help of the trailblazers who found their foothold in industries where they often had to fight to be seen and heard. Assemble compiled a list of people who, from the early days in the United States to the present, broke the glass ceiling across a variety of industries. The pioneers on this list include two Black women self-made millionaires. They include a woman who fought for a seat on the biggest financial exchange in the world, and a Cuban man immigrant who brought prosperity to a well-known American corporation. They are leaders, activists, and forward thinkers who would not stop no matter their race, ethnicity, or gender.
