Coming Up from the Institute for Economic Equity

In our upcoming Labor Day Message, we will remind readers why the St. Louis Fed created the Institute. The message will provide a portrait of the current state of American workers and their communities and describe how technology, globalization, changing population demographics and now the COVID-19 pandemic continues to change how we work, where we work, when we work and with whom we work, with a particular focus on illustrating the various racial, ethnic, gender and educational contours. The message will draw links to work previously conducted by staff of the Institute and from there will begin to lay out the Institute’s framework for how it will build awareness for how we as a nation can achieve broad-based economic security.
