A recent webinar featured authors Nyerere Hodge, Stuart Andreason, Ph.D., and Carl Van Horn, Ph.D., discussing their analysis of the 21st-century labor market as presented in the three-part series Then and Now. The webinar examined measures of economic mobility and resilience such as earnings and education gaps, student loans, medical insurance, and retirement benefits with an eye toward informing strategies to improve economic mobility.

Nyerere Hodge is a Policy Specialist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta; Stuart Andreason, Ph.D. is the Executive Director of Programs at the Burning Glass Institute; and Carl Van Horn, Ph.D. is the Director of the Heldrich Center and Distinguished Professor of Public Policy at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey.

The webinar was hosted by the Heldrich Center in partnership with the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta and the Burning Glass Institute. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta or the Federal Reserve System.
