"Let's be fiercely impatient. We need to have a long view, but build brick by brick." -@marydalyecon #racismandtheeconomy
Atlanta Fed Tue 17 Nov 2020 20:12

A final thought from @marydalyecon, @sffed president: "An inclusive economy is a productive economy. If we're all determined to give the next generation a better future, we have to have an inclusive economy. This is not an individual issue, this is a societal issue."
Atlanta Fed Tue 17 Nov 2020 20:12

"The challenge is that each of these issues is having a disproportionate impact on people of color. A high quality of jobs makes a great difference.” - President Rosengren, @BostonFed
Atlanta Fed Tue 17 Nov 2020 20:07

President Eric Rosengren of the @BostonFed: “The pandemic has shown that access to childcare, transportation, and stable earnings are critical issues for households." #racismandtheeconomy

"We're seeing a huge transition with racial unrest matching energy from the civil rights movement, so we expect to see change and a better integration of workers of color." - @RebeccaDNELP #racismandtheeconomy
Atlanta Fed Tue 17 Nov 2020 20:02

Responding to @KAReports, @RebeccaDNELP of @NelpNews said: "The role of litigation vs. policy? The balance of litigation is to provide pressure to help workers of color, but policy doesn't exist in a vacuum."

"We need to be very aware of inequities and focus on transparency and awareness. Businesses can't wait for government; they can solve equity issues." -Ed Bastian, CEO of @Delta #racismandtheeconomy
Atlanta Fed Tue 17 Nov 2020 19:47

Ed Bastian, CEO of @Delta, speaking on racial inequity: "This year brought a real reckoning. It's been hard for corporate CEOs to acknowledge that racial inequity exists but we see the evidence in the data: 22% of Delta workers are Black but only 7% of executive leaders are."

“We need new standards that prioritize racial equity. What would it look like to promote racial equity audits across all government agencies?” - @AshleighGardere of @policylink #racismandtheeconomy

“As a result of the pandemic, we now see workers in the care economy as essential. We have the opportunity to promote a more racially equitable economy, where all work deserves protections and economic security.” -@aijenpoo, National Domestic Workers Alliance #racismandtheeconomy

"Which jobs require a bachelor's degree are determined by business. It's not a law of nature. This is a labor market problem." -@Byron_Auguste, @OpptyatWork
Atlanta Fed Tue 17 Nov 2020 19:32

In response to Joshua Bolten’s multiple pathways proposal, @Byron_Auguste says, “We need to define the overlooked talent pool. There are 71 million workers who lack a college degree but are 'Skilled Through Alternative Routes' (STAR) workers.” #racismandtheeconomy
