SUMMARY:Rural Economic Development Summit: Health Ecosystems and Workforce Pipelines
DESCRIPTION:Strong healthcare systems are vital to rural communities in a number of ways. In addition to providing essential healthcare to residents\, rural hospitals and providers also create jobs\, stimulate economic activity through their local spending\, and support the health and well-being of the local workforce. Without strong rural healthcare networks\, residents often face long travel times for basic care\, decreased workforce participation\, and widening economic disparities.  \n\n\n\nThe Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia\, the Center for Rural Pennsylvania\, and the Pennsylvania Office of Rural Health invite you to a rural economic development summit to explore the important economic role of healthcare institutions in rural communities.  \n\n\n\nWhy Attend?\n\n\n\nJoin speakers\, panelists\, and your peers to discuss the opportunities and challenges of maintaining strong healthcare networks in rural regions. We’ll explore policies\, best practices\, and innovative ways to support rural health initiatives through an economic development strategy.  \n\n\n\nTopics include strengthening pipelines to jobs and pathways to healthcare careers\, attracting and retaining local talent to meet local needs\, addressing the challenges related to rural healthcare finance and service delivery\, and investing in and supporting healthcare systems as anchor institutions. \n\n\n\nSpeakers will include:  \n\n\n\n\n\nValerie Arkoosh\, Secretary of Human Services\, Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;\n\n\n\nBrad Fulton\, Associate Professor\, Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs\, Indiana University Bloomington; and\n\n\n\nMiko Rose\, Founding Dean\, College of Osteopathic Medicine\, Indiana University of Pennsylvania.\n\n\n\n\n\nView the current agenda \n\n\n\nWho Should Attend?\n\n\n\nProfessionals in rural economic or workforce development organizations\, rural chambers of commerce\, and funders and nonprofits working with low- and moderate-income communities\, as well as other rural or countywide decision-makers\, are encouraged to attend.  \n\n\n\nParticipation is free\, but registration is required. Space is limited\, so reserve your spot now.

SUMMARY:Conversations with the Fed: Workers’ Experiences with Unemployment Insurance
DESCRIPTION:Unemployment insurance (UI) helps laid-off workers stay afloat when they are looking for a job. How do economists think about UI and its effects on the labor market? What factors help shape workers’ access to UI? And why are researchers at the Fed interested in all this? Ayushi Narayan and Ryan Nunn\, economists in Community Development and Engagement\, will bring research to bear on questions like these during a virtual event on Wednesday\, June 4\, from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. CT. \n\n\n\nRyan Nunn leads applied research in Community Development and Engagement at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. His team works to supply policymakers and practitioners with evidence that can inform decision-making and improve outcomes for low- and moderate-income communities. Before coming to the Bank\, Ryan was a fellow in economic studies at the Brookings Institution and policy director for the Hamilton Project. Prior to that\, Ryan was an economist at the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Ryan’s work has focused on analysis of labor market trends and institutions. He has published research in journals including Labour Economics\, the European Economic Review\, and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. In 2024\, he served as a senior economist at the White House’s Council of Economic Advisers. Ryan received his undergraduate degree in economics from Case Western Reserve University and his Ph.D. in public policy and economics from the University of Michigan\, Ann Arbor. \n\n\n\nAyushi Narayan conducts research on labor market institutions to help the Community Development and Engagement team understand how employment-related policies and trends affect low- and moderate-income communities. Prior to joining the Bank\, her work included roles at the Council of Economic Advisers\, Nike\, and Amazon. Ayushi received her B.A. from Dartmouth College and her Ph.D. in economics from Harvard University. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:00 – 10:00 a.m. CT \n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation and Q&A\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation

SUMMARY:Connecting Communities: Highlights from the 2024 Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking
DESCRIPTION:Watch on demand \n\n\n\nThis session will share the major findings from the annual Survey of Household Economics and Decisionmaking (SHED)\, which was fielded in October 2024 and released on May 28\, 2025. The survey is a key tool of the Federal Reserve Board for understanding the financial circumstances of low-income families and understanding potential risks to their financial health. In this Connecting Communities webinar\, researchers from the Board will discuss the trends in family finances\, employment\, and financial risks experienced by U.S. adults. \n\n\n\nIn addition to monitoring major aspects of household financial circumstances on an ongoing basis\, each year the survey also covers other topics that can directly affect financial well-being. In 2024\, the survey included new questions on financial fraud\, brought back questions on gig work\, and expanded the modules on caregiving and homeowners insurance—some of which will be covered in the session. Additionally\, the survey continues to ask questions on the use of credit products\, savings\, and housing. \n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAlicia LloroPrincipal EconomistConsumer & Community ResearchFederal Reserve Board of Governors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEllen MerryPrincipal EconomistConsumer & Community ResearchFederal Reserve Board of Governors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMike ZabekSenior EconomistConsumer & Community ResearchFederal Reserve Board of Governors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSydney DiavuaAssistant Vice PresidentCommunity DevelopmentFederal Reserve Bank of St. Louismoderator \n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Connecting Communities®\n\n\n\nReal people.

SUMMARY:The State of the Nation's Housing 2025

SUMMARY:District Dialogues: Maximizing Employment: Understanding Labor Force Participation
DESCRIPTION:What is labor force participation\, and what role does it play in the Fed’s mandate from Congress to maximize employment? Why did the post-pandemic workforce “bounce back” faster in some regions and industries than others?  \n\n\n\nThe next installment in our District Dialogues event series—which brings together subject matter experts\, business and community leaders\, and Richmond Fed economists to dialogue on top economic topics facing our region—will dig into national\, regional\, and state labor market data to discuss the crucial role labor force participation plays in economic growth and stability and why it can vary across different geographies and sectors of the economy. \n\n\n\nInterested in learning more? All community members are invited to join us Thursday\, June 26 at 8:30 AM in person at the Richmond Fed’s Baltimore\, MD Branch office or virtually via Zoom. There is no cost to attend\, but all attendees are asked to register in advance. In-person attendees are invited to join us before the event for networking and refreshments. \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\nAndy Bauer\, Vice President and Regional Executive\, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond\n\n\n\nJohn Bailey Jones\, Vice President of Microeconomic Analysis\, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond\n\n\n\nBrooke Lierman\, Comptroller of Maryland\n\n\n\nMelanie Styles\, Senior Program Officer – Workforce Development\,\, Abell Foundation\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAgenda\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8:30 – 9:00 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nContinental Breakfast & NetworkingIn Person \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n9:00 – 10:30 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nPresentation\, Panel Discussion and Audience Q&AIn Person and Virtual Audiences \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n10:30 – 11:00 am ET \n\n\n\n\n\nClosing Remarks and NetworkingIn Person \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation\n\n\n\nThis is a hybrid event.
