In America's Hidden Economic Engines, editors Robert B. Schwartz and Rachel Lipson spotlight community and technical colleges as institutions uniquely equipped to foster more equitable economic growth across America's regions. They show how these colleges are the best-placed institutions to reverse the decades-long rise in US economic inequality by race, class, and geography. The book's contributors, Harvard Project on Workforce researchers, introduce detailed case studies of five institutions that show what is possible when governments, employers, and communities invest in their community colleges' economic and workforce development mission.
