abstract: 'This article outlines the obstacles to widely shared prosperity in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
labor markets of older communities in the United States. It addresses
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the need for more and better jobs, for the education and training
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
programs to give workers the skills to fill these jobs, and for improved
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access to good jobs and schooling for minority and low-income residents.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Examples of successful or promising approaches in each area are

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
provided. Policy implications include government efforts to encourage
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the creation of more high-wage, high-performance jobs; provide more
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
resources and incentives to community colleges to improve the employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outcomes of disadvantaged students; expand sector-based training and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
high-quality career education and apprenticeships; and expand services
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that would link all residents in a metropolitan area to good schools and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
jobs.'
