My chapter on improving local economic development policies is published today by @econstrategygrp . This book is available for free download or you can request a free hard copy. #SecuringOurEconomicFuture economicstrategygroup.org/publication/se…
The book has 3 sections, each with several chapters. The 3 areas are: trends affecting the middle class; issues affecting particular geograpies; & climate change. The "local" section includes a chapter by @davidautor on the changing geography of middle skill jobs.
