Thoughtful thread here from @LHSummers on the potentially catalytic role higher ed can play in revitalizing American communities, building on @JamesFallows piece. Especially important for America's 1000+ community colleges given their mission, biz partnerships, & geographic reach
I’d bet that a substantial fraction of Americans live within the catchment area of some higher education institution. There is vast untapped potential for universities and colleges as drivers of economic growth and social progress.
🔥🔥If you haven't yet checked out the American Opportunity Index (today in @wsj) you are missing out. Kudos to my HPoW colleagues @JosephBFuller@mattsigelman - important new data on how F250 companies perform on economic mobility & how they can do better americanopportunityindex.org
Using data from an open call for grant applications by WES Mariam Assefa Fund, a new report from @HarvardMWC's Project on Workforce provides a deep dive into orgs that help immigrants & refugees advance in the U.S. workforce. @Rachel_Lipson@National_Fundbddy.me/3M98dPe
Today @gregcwright and I argue in @thehill that Congress is making a mistake by letting our longest-standing adjustment program, TAA, expire. We need to be helping more displaced workers adapt to a changing economy- not less!

Spoke with @PhilMcCausland@NBCNews about the negative impacts of the termination of TAA, one of our only major national programs to help workers cope with economic shocks. We need to be preparing for more economic disruption, not less. Congress should act to reauthorize.
If a company closes a U.S. factory and ships jobs overseas, this decades-old assistance program has been there to help millions find new jobs, advocates say.
But the program lapsed July 1 and thousands of workers have already lost access.
