Americans have been experiencing downward socioeconomic mobility in terms of occupational status & income in recent decades. Join us for a workshop on 2/14-15 to identify priorities for research & data collection to address this issue: ow.ly/PqUJ50HEUkA #PopulationResearch

However, it is also a difficult population to study and draw easy generalizations because it is highly heterogeneous - by race, generation, national origin, residence, and socioeconomic status. #EmScholars

@Gen_Pov However, it is also a difficult population to study and draw easy generalizations because it is highly heterogeneous - by race, generation, national origin, residence, and socioeconomic status. #EmScholars

And here is a piece by @lichter_daniel w/ more on this topic journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

@Gen_Pov Americas Hispanic populations is the largest ethnoracial population in America. It also is a disproportionately young population that will redefine America's future for decades to come. #EmScholars

Like all good research, the answer to this question depends on the research question. If the question is specific to the well-being of #Latino families then comparisons are not appropriate (in my view)

Question 1: What are the benefits and limitations of research comparing Hispanic populations against other racial/ethnic groups? . #EmScholars

Americas Hispanic populations is the largest ethnoracial population in America. It also is a disproportionately young population that will redefine America's future for decades to come. #EmScholars

@colleen_vesely @NRCHispanic I also I'm pleased to participate in the Emerging Scholars Twitter chat. #EmScholars

I'm thrilled to announce that I'll be taking part in a Q&A session for emerging scholars hosted by the @NRCHispanic #EmScholars

@CleveFed_ComDev A8. This baseline assumption should be reflected in all public policy. #investinrural (2/2)

@CleveFed_ComDev A8. We must start with the view that rural and urban represent two sides of the same coin, that we are highly interdependent politically, economically and socially. The boundaries separating rural and urban are fluid and ambiguous. (1/2) #investinrural

Q8: How can policies at the local, state, and federal level best support resilient access to economic opportunity in rural communities? #InvestinRural

@CleveFed_ComDev A7. These institutions must address the real but often unmet needs of majority-minority communities—on Indian Reservations, in the lower Rio Grande River Valley, and in the Delta. They are too often forgotten, remote and hidden from view. #InvestinRural

Q7: How are banks, community development financial institutions, philanthropic organizations, and other investors supporting access to resilient economic opportunity in rural communities?

@CleveFed_ComDev A6. Climate change means transitioning away from fossil fuels to a Green Rural Economy. The comparative advantage of many rural areas resides in their wide-open spaces for developing wind and solar energy. #InvestinRural

Q6: What investments or other supports do rural communities need to increase their resilience to the effects of climate change or other economic shocks? #InvestinRural

@CleveFed_ComDev A5. Migration climate may involve the movement of urban and bicoastal populations, perhaps to the heartland cities and communities. This will be a new source of rural growth that many rural places are ill-prepared for. #InvestinRural

Q5: How might the effects of climate change affect the economic opportunities available in rural communities? #InvestinRural

@CleveFed_ComDev A4. This means investing in schools and local institutions, drawing a new social compact with long-term native-born residents. They are the entrepreneurs, taxpayers and health care providers in the future. #InvestinRural (2/2)

@CleveFed_ComDev A4. We need to think about global (rural) communities. Diversity in rural communities starts with children, where new immigrants make up a disproportionate share of the population #InvestinRural (1/2)

Q4: What actions are rural communities taking to ensure that economic opportunity is available to all their residents, including those who have historically been on the economic margins? #InvestinRural
