In this time of social upheaval, racial reckoning, and public health crisis, our nation has been forced to confront deep vulnerabilities in our economic system. The painful truth is that the U.S. economy is built on far too many low-wage, low-quality jobs and deeply entrenched racial occupational segregation that has left 100 million people in the country economically insecure. Our nation cannot afford another inequitable “recovery” like the one that followed the Great Recession. Dismantling structural racism must be at the center of our response to this crisis.

SkillWorks is proud to have partnered with PolicyLink, the National Equity Atlas, Burning Glass Technologies, and the National Fund for Workforce Solutions on the newly-released report Advancing Workforce Equity in Boston: A Blueprint for Action. The Advancing Workforce Equity report series presents insights and analysis from disaggregated data in five U.S. regions: Boston, Chicago, Dallas, San Francisco, and Seattle. Join us for a presentation of the data in our regional report followed by a conversation about how we can leverage this data in Greater Boston to implement the critical changes necessary for an equitable economic recovery and future.
