Income Inequality and Economic Opportunity in California

The current recession threatens to deepen California’s economic divide. Low-income families, communities of color, and women have been hardest hit, and past recessions suggest their wages will take longer to recover. Can policymakers break the mold and pave the way for an equitable recovery? Sarah Bohn, vice president of research at PPIC, will present findings from a new report, and a panel of experts will discuss the future of economic opportunity for Californians from state and local perspectives.
