About This Project

Summary

We identify the influence of geography on the economic mobility and quality of life for Black Americans, noting measures to address disparities and enhance opportunities. Highlighting areas with high Black social mobility, we call for improving job quality, preparing the workforce for future disruptions, and supporting Black-owned businesses. Also, we emphasize investing in underserved communities and addressing the unmet needs of Black consumers to unlock $300 billion in potential spending.
