Data for an Inclusive Economic Recovery
Vilsack, Rachel; LaPrad, Jeannine
National Skills Coalition
Public data and accountability are key to an inclusive economic recovery. We need data on how different workers and businesses are faring in the recovery, so we can hold policymakers accountable to equitable outcomes for those most impacted. Disparities and inequities in skills training programs can only be eliminated if there is high-quality information on program outcomes available to practitioners and policymakers to assess and address equity gaps. This policy brief provides recommendations on how to measure and report on what matters to help diminish structural inequities and to shape implementation of federal recovery investments as well as new state and federal workforce investments for years to come.
