Job Creation Prospects and Strategies

The first volume of The Black Worker in the 21st Century, the Joint Center's signature series on economic policy issues, Job Creation Prospects and Strategies looks at the current demand for African American labor and strategies policy makers can use to increase that demand in the future. The contributing authors in this multi-author volume draw on both national statistics and original research to examine this issue.
