    Hard Data on Equity for U.S. Workers

    In this episode of the Horizons Podcast, we look at who is getting ahead in the U.S. workforce, who's still lagging behind, and why. As income skyrockets in major cities, small towns and rural areas are seeing far less growth offering residents little chance at upward mobility. Women are back to work after the pandemic, but their climb to the top of the ladder remains languid. And workers without college degrees are still waiting for a workforce that values their skills. Host Tameshia Bridges Mansfield and special guest Jed Kolko, United States Under Secretary of Commerce for Economic Affairs move the conversation forward from the stage at this year’s Horizons Summit. Guest Speakers from the stage at Horizons include: Karin Kimbrough - Chief Economist, LinkedIn Richard Reeves - Non-resident Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution and President of the American Institute for Boys and Men and JFF Board member.
