CEPR Research Associate Janelle Jones will be on Bloomberg’s Bottom Line tonight at 7:40 p.m. to talk about her latest report with Senior Economist John Schmitt, “Has Education Paid Off for Black Workers?” According to the report, black workers today are better educated and older than they were three decades ago but are still less likely to be in a good job now than they were in 1979. The report examines the deterioration of job quality for black workers in the United States and evaluates several policies that could help to reverse the trend.
