This Wednesday, June 15, at 1 p.m. Eastern, join Next City’s Senior Economics Correspondent Oscar Perry Abello for the latest in his Bottom Line Conversations webinar series. In this edition, he will talk with Michelle Holder, the outgoing president and CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. The economy is on everyone's minds right now. When will inflation subside? Will strong labor markets continue to boost wages for Black workers and reduce the unemployment gap with white workers? How significant is it — not just symbolic — that for the first time ever there are multiple Black members of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors? Join us for a Bottom Line conversation touching on these questions and more with Afro Latina Economist Michelle Holder, outgoing president and CEO of the Washington Center for Equitable Growth. Holder has spent her career studying racial and gender discrimination and inequality in labor markets. We’ll chat about Holder’s career path, why economics is still a useful lens — but not the only lens — through which to analyze the world. And what the media often gets wrong about economists and economics. Next City’s series “The Bottom Line” explores scalable solutions for problems related to affordability, inclusive economic growth and access to capital.
