SUMMARY:Place-Based Strategies: Strengthening Local Economies through Labor Market Policies
DESCRIPTION:Place plays an important role in the economic outcomes of residents. Place-based strategies have long been used  to address employment and mobility barriers in lower-income communities.

Researchers in this seminar will examine the impact of workforce development programs\, sharing ideas to improve them and offering insights to help inform future policy strategies. \n\n\n\n2026 Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series\n\n\n\nWhere people live can affect their financial well-being and job prospects. This is especially true for residents of lower-income neighborhoods. Join us for the 2026 Federal Reserve Community Development Research Seminar Series\, Place-Based Strategies: Strengthening Local Economies. \n\n\n\nIn this year’s three seminars\, experts will share their research on job market conditions\, the impact of community-focused strategies\, and how investments can help local economies thrive. \n\n\n\nJoin us to explore how research and effective strategies can create opportunities that benefit local communities as a whole. \n\n\n\nAddtional events: \n\n\n\n\n\nPlace-Based Strategies: Strengthening Local Economies in Low-Income Communities\n\n\n\nPlace-Based Strategies: Strengthening Rural Economies through Investment\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPresented by\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLocation
