PPA Issue Brief: Disparate Jobless Risks Present Challenge for Workforce Agencies

May 27, 2020

Michigan’s unemployment rate has soared because of the Covid-19 pandemic, and economic uncertainty will hover for the foreseeable future.  Nearly half of the state’s workers are in occupations considered to be high-risk for layoffs.

The vulnerability of workers is not equally spread.  Areas of disparity include race, gender, and education. In its latest issue brief, “Michiganders at Risk of Unemployment: Identifying and Aiding Workers in Need,” PPA takes a fresh look at Michigan’s data and suggests practices and policies for workforce agencies and others seeking to assist the most at-risk populations.

You can read the brief here. For more information about PPA’s experience with workforce issues, contact David McConnell at 517-485-4477 or dmcconnell@publicpolicy.com.
