MAX Leadership Network Members Exchange Thoughts on Job Quality with the Federal Reserve Bank System

April 23, 2018

On Monday, April 9th, the MAX Leadership Network convened to learn more about efforts underway by the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to better understand job quality and what it means for the job seeker and employer.  The meeting was hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.

Network members heard from Anjali Sakaria, Senior Community Development Analyst with the Boston Fed’s Regional and Community Outreach group.  Sakaria has been a key player in the Boston Fed’s efforts to lead the Fed System’s look into job quality and provided insights on what this  means for our Atlanta region.  Specifically, she spoke about strategies for improving employment outcomes, wage polarization, the hollowing out of middle class jobs, contributing factors to job quality, methods for increasing job quality, and the Boston Fed Job Quality Initiative.

Following Sakaria’s presentation, network members were provided an opportunity to share insights with Sakaria, thereby contributing to a national conversation.  These insights will be included in a compilation of insights from around the country and summarized in a mini-report by Sakaria to be later released through the Boston Fed.
