Mandel’s work featured as one of “The Most Important Economic Stories of 2013” by The Atlantic

  • December 11, 2013
  • The Progressive Policy Institute

Matthew O’Brien writing for The Atlantic highlighted the work of Michael Mandel, PPI’s cheif economic strategist, in a recent survey of “The Most Important Economic Stories of 2013 – in 42 Graphs.”  Mandel’s contribution was a graph reflecting the increasing tech education of minorities:

 

“The tech boom has opened up new opportunities for minorities. Over the past two year, the number of blacks working in computer and mathematical occupations has risen 28%, while the number of Hispanics working in computer and mathematical occupations has risen by 24%. That’s more than double the 10% rise in overall tech employment.”

Find the full list of important economic stories on The Atlantic‘s website here.
