Strategies for Improving Economic Mobility of Workers
On November 15 and 16, 2007, The Federal Reserve Bank of Chicago’s Economic Research and Consumer and Community Affairs Departments in partnership with the Upjohn Institute for Employment Research, held a conference titled Strategies for Improving Economic Mobility of Workers.
The conference brought together researchers, community development practitioners and policymakers in an informed discussion regarding issues affecting the economic well being of low-income workers and vulnerable populations. Participants gained valuable insights from interactive research session presentations and panel discussions on the role and the effectiveness of specific programs and initiatives on education, transportation and workforce development.
