SUMMARY:Fed Talk: A Conversation with Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland President Beth Hammack
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation with Beth Hammack\, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\, to discuss the critical functions of Reserve Banks\, the state of the economy\, and ways Reserve Banks engage with the public. \n\n\n\nThis program offers a deeper understanding of the Federal Reserve’s role in the economy and the Fed’s impact on everyday life. \n\n\n\nThe event will be offered both virtually and in person at the Bank’s location in downtown Cleveland. Following the session\, in-person attendees may tour the Bank’s main building\, constructed in 1923. \n\n\n\nReserve Banks play a pivotal role in the US financial system. The Cleveland Fed touches everyone in the Fourth District by \n\n\n\n\n\nWorking with community and business partners to understand the economic landscape\n\n\n\nSupervising financial institutions\n\n\n\nPlaying a vital role in the nation’s payments system\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn her first year\, President Hammack has engaged with local community and business leaders in the Bank’s Fourth Federal Reserve District\, comprising Ohio and parts of Kentucky\, Pennsylvania\, and West Virginia. She then brings their insights into how the economy is working for their communities to the Federal Reserve’s policy-setting meeting in Washington DC. \n\n\n\nThere are 12 Reserve Banks across the country. Each serves a specific region\, and all Reserve Banks operate under the umbrella of the Federal Reserve System. \n\n\n\nThe primary functions of the Federal Reserve concern \n\n\n\n\n\nMonetary policy: Setting US monetary policy to promote maximum employment and stable prices in the US economy. The aim is to protect your standard of living.\n\n\n\nSupervision and regulation: Promoting the safety and soundness of individual financial institutions and monitoring their impact on the financial system. As a result\, you can be confident the bank you choose is operating in a safe and sound manner.\n\n\n\nPayments systems: Promoting a safe\, efficient\, and accessible system for US dollar transactions. This includes circulation of paper currency and coin.

SUMMARY:Where Could Reshoring Manufacturers Find Workers?
DESCRIPTION:In recent decades\, manufacturing employment has fallen dramatically in the United States even as it has expanded globally. Policymakers have focused on trying to rebuild America’s manufacturing base through initiatives like the CHIPS and Science Act and new tariff policies. But a crucial question remains: Who will fill these jobs if manufacturing returns to the United States? This Fed Talk will dive into research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that addresses this issue. \n\n\n\nOur discussion will highlight pools of potential manufacturing workers\, including \n\n\n\n\n\nWorkers who could transition to manufacturing from lower-paying industries such as retail and food service\n\n\n\nYoung people entering the workforce who could begin careers in manufacturing\n\n\n\nWorking-age adults not currently in school or the workforce\n\n\n\n\n\nPanelists will also explore which regions of the country have existing manufacturing clusters\, where manufacturing employment has grown recently\, and which areas have the strongest potential for workforce expansion. The discussion could help employers\, workforce development professionals\, and educators prepare for potential reshoring of manufacturing jobs by creating pathways to help people start manufacturing careers. \n\n\n\nPanelists will take your questions following the presentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nMarcia Ballinger\, President\, Lorain County Community College\n\n\n\nJacob Duritsky\, Vice President\, Strategy and Research\, TEAM NEO\n\n\n\nAnnette Vickers\, Senior Research Manager\, ARM Institute\n\n\n\nStephan Whitaker\, Senior Policy Economist\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\nKhaz Finley\, Assistant Vice President\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:College Degrees and the Labor Market: Long-Run Trends and Recent Challenges for Young Graduates
DESCRIPTION:For decades\, a college degree was a reliable ticket to faster job placement\, lower unemployment\, and rising wages. But something fundamental shifted around the year 2000\, and the consequences are only now becoming fully visible. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a discussion of new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland that reveals a major transformation in the American labor market. Using nearly 50 years of data\, researchers Alexander Cline and Barış Kaymak examine how the economic forces in the labor market that once strongly favored college-educated workers have shifted over the past several decades—and how young college graduates have lost their long-standing advantage in finding jobs faster. \n\n\n\nWhat you’ll discover: \n\n\n\n\n\nWhy the unemployment gap between young high school and college graduates has hit its lowest level since the late 1970s—and why this isn’t just a postpandemic phenomenon\n\n\n\nHow growth in labor demand switched from “college-biased” to “education-neutral” after the year 2000\, ending decades of college-biased growth\n\n\n\nWhat advantages college graduates retain despite their struggles with initial job placement and why the story is more nuanced than “college degrees don’t matter anymore”\n\n\n\n\n\nThis research documents significant shifts in how education relates to labor market outcomes over the past several decades. The findings raise important questions about the changing nature of work\, education\, and economic opportunity. \n\n\n\nThe speaker will take your questions following the presentation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\nBarış Kaymak\, Economic and Policy Advisor\, Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland\n\n\n\n\n\nModerator\n\n\n\n\n\nAmy Morona\, Higher Education Reporter\, Signal Ohio\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
