Thursday, July 25, 2024
8:00 a.m.–2:30 p.m.
Location: Burke Center at Penn State Behrend, Erie, Pennsylvania
Are economic outcomes such as employment and earnings influenced by demographic characteristics like race, ethnicity, and gender? If so, how big are the gaps in the labor market outcomes experienced by different groups? Are there potential economic gains from reducing those gaps and having greater equity and inclusion in the labor market? If so, how big are the potential gains?
Join us in examining these issues at the Economic Research Institute of Erie’s annual conference for business owners and executives, community leaders, and interested citizens.
Hear from local professionals and experts who will discuss the gaps in economic outcomes across demographic groups and the potential gains from removing those gaps. Be part of the discussion as we explore the challenges and potential opportunities associated with this important social issue.
