A Labor Market for the Digital Age: Pathways and Opportunities

A Joint Event Co-Sponsored by the American Enterprise Institute, Center for American Progress, and Markle Foundation


1:30 - 3:00 PM EDT

It is time for a new conversation. Amid large-scale economic transformation, it is vital to ensure all Americans benefit from the wave of digital revolutions that have permeated modern life. While these changes have brought many benefits, there are too many Americans who don’t know where to find opportunity in this new networked era. We need a path to a hopeful future.

American Enterprise Institute President Arthur Brooks and Center for American Progress President Neera Tanden will offer opening remarks, followed by a conversation among Markle Foundation CEO and President Zoë Baird, Purdue University President Mitch Daniels, and Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-CO), moderated by Walter Isaacson, CEO of the Aspen Institute. Please join us for this important discussion on navigating the 21st-century economy.
