Key Takeaways
Black and Hispanic residents of our city and state face looming gaps in education opportunities and workforce outcomes compared to white residents at every stage of the education-to-workforce pipeline.
These disparities hinder individuals’ ability to prosper, businesses’ ability to thrive and the vitality of our community. Employers also struggle to fill knowledge and skill-based positions with the talent they need.
No single person or institution is responsible for this systemic inequality; it is a complex, community-wide challenge involving a myriad of issues, all with roots in the troubling history of race in America.
