Economic Mobility: Understanding the lived experience
Economic Mobility: Understanding the lived experience
Hello! We are hoping you can do us a favor and answer a few questions about economic mobility in the Atlanta region. As you might already be aware, the Atlanta region ranks DEAD LAST in upward economic mobility. You can read about that here. There obviously is a lot that goes into economic mobility - access to basic needs, access to quality education, access to rewarding work that pays a living wage, social capital, thriving neighborhoods and, ultimately, the ability to build wealth for your children and grandchildren. That's why we would like for you to take about 15 minutes to answer the following questions. We're not just being nosy! We'd like to better understand YOUR experiences with economic mobility. We'll share this with the region's decision-makers which will help inform potential solutions. The Atlanta region - the birthplace of the civil rights movement - simply can't be last in upward economic mobility. But here we are... help us change that!
