Evolution Of American Labor Market PolicyKristin Wolff
The document summarizes the evolution of American labor market policy over three periods: 1) Industrial Transformation from 1913-1946, characterized by high population growth, unskilled jobs, and lack of universal education; 2) Social Policy from 1962-1983, in response to permanent industry dislocation and job/skill losses, focused on disadvantaged groups; and 3) Economic Policy from the 1980s onward, emphasizing education/skills due to global competition. Future labor markets will require increased education levels due to slow population growth, an aging workforce, and most new jobs requiring postsecondary education or training. Industry-recognized certifications will be important portable credentials for economic and social security.
Gave this "Future of Work" (and the skills you'll need) webinar this morning to a group of Canadian/stateside economic development professionals. They were great sports and asked thoughtful questions. Thanks to Whittaker & Associates for hosting.

R2R2 June 2015 - Lisa, Kristin, HeatherKristin Wolff
This document discusses a new Oregon law that allows communities to invest in local businesses through community public offerings (CPOs). The law enables citizens to invest directly in local enterprises and strengthen their economies. It creates opportunities for entrepreneurs to raise capital from within their communities. Since the law took effect in January, several Oregon companies have already raised over $100,000 from local investments of around $1,000 each. The document provides an overview of the CPO process and concepts like intrastate offerings, termsheets, and technical service providers. It also offers frameworks for evaluating local investment opportunities and examples of how individuals approach impact investing.
This document introduces Hatch Oregon, a platform that allows Oregon residents to invest directly in local businesses. It aims to engage markets and investors in a new way by enabling citizens to launch enterprises that improve communities. The platform operates under Oregon law and allows any Oregon resident to invest up to $2,500 in a company. Entrepreneurs can choose terms like equity, debt, or royalties. Early lessons show crowdvesting is different than crowdfunding by creating investor relationships. First-time investors often return to support local businesses and values through investing.
HatchOregon: Oregon's Community Public Offering ExplainedKristin Wolff
This document discusses Oregon's new Community Public Offering (CPO) law, which allows small businesses in Oregon to raise capital directly from Oregon residents through securities crowdfunding. The law enables unaccredited investors to invest in small businesses and helps provide more funding for startups and small companies in Oregon. Since the law took effect in January 2015, nine businesses have raised nearly $210,000 through the CPO platform HatchOregon.com, with nearly 200 Oregonians investing. The document argues that if Oregonians invested just 1% of their savings through CPOs, over $900 million could be made available to fund local Oregon businesses.

The document suggests Scrum can help workforce partners collaborate more effectively to tackle challenges like unemployment, skills gaps, and poverty.
Transparency ThinkThank Session at AEA 2013Kristin Wolff
This document discusses providing technical assistance to community-based organizations to help them advance social change. It describes an information exchange model used in LA County to connect non-profits with organizational development services. The multiple funders involved explored a technology-based information exchange but ultimately declined to move forward. The document suggests learning from how governments, large social sector groups, and foundations approach technical assistance and notes that establishing common language, measuring effectiveness, and issues of transparency and culture need consideration.
This document discusses job creation and workforce development. It covers three vexing problems faced by entrepreneurs: lack of community support and resources, lack of a clear roadmap or steps to take, and lack of access to capital/funding. It then summarizes solutions that have been developed including coworking spaces called Hatch that provide resources and partnerships; a Purpose Wheel tool to help map out business plans; and emerging options for equity crowdfunding to help secure funding. The presentation concludes by emphasizing the need for public-private partnerships to address societal problems and create new economic opportunities.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
OJP data from firms like Vicinity Jobs have emerged as a complement to traditional sources of labour demand data, such as the Job Vacancy and Wages Survey (JVWS).

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Independent Study - College of Wooster Research (2023-2024) FDI, Culture, Glo...AntoniaOwensDetwiler
"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

What’s different today? Why is this emerging now?Answer that technology makes it possibleAnd the need and desire for alternatives to traditional funding mechanisms and institutions makes it desireable.Old conditions: part of community, trusted intermediary, cultural familiarityBut, people move (no longer part of community), makes trusted intermediaries hard to find,But technology enables two things: people can connect to one another and they can make their interactions transparent.These are excellent conditions for crowdfunding to take off.And it has.Not just supporting project, changing the world. Giving people different options.Chris Anderson – we’re learning/and teaching each other to do this.
