Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta: Place-Based Strategies: Strengthening Local Economics Through Labor Market Policies

The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is hosting Place-Based Strategies: Strengthening Local Economics Through Labor Market Policies on Wednesday, August 12^th, from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM.

Place plays an important role in the economic outcomes of residents. Place-based strategies have long been used to address employment and mobility barriers in lower-income communities. However, evidence on the effectiveness of such initiatives has been mixed. Researchers in this seminar will examine the impact of workforce development programs, sharing ideas to improve them and offering insights to help inform future policy strategies.
