Pillar 1: Help All People Rebound and Advance

For states to achieve an equitable economic recovery, they must focus on the needs of people and communities that have historically been underserved and left out of opportunity, including people of color and individuals from low-income backgrounds. These state policy briefs examine four key strategies for helping all people gain the knowledge, tools, and experiences they need to rebound from the current economic downturn and achieve upward economic mobility. Other briefs that are a part of JFF’s State Policy Road Map for an Equitable Economic Recovery focus on revitalizing regional economies inclusively and redesigning education and workforce development systems.
