Community colleges contribute to the development of regional economies by affordably educating the local workforce in competitive 21st-century skills. Using economic modeling, we can understand the distributional effects of these institutions and observe their direct and indirect impacts.

REMI Economic Analyst Katy Koon, Business Development Analyst Guyesha Blackshear, and Business Development Intern Henry Higgins will be hosting “Exploring the Economic Contributions of Community Colleges,” our upcoming webinar on Thursday, July 15 from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. (ET).

During this presentation, we will use our Tax-PI/SEI model to assess the dynamic economic and fiscal impacts of community colleges and to demonstrate how these programs affect workforce development, tax revenues and expenditures, income, and regional economic development.

Nationwide price increases in the housing market are redefining the economic landscape while many Americans are still recovering from the pandemic recession. As states deploy programs to restore their economies, policy leaders must consider the critical influence cost-of-living will have as they work to ensure economic recovery reaches all communities.
