Identify the Barriers What are the Program Action Agenda to Prosperity Economic Impacts of Feasibility Broader Prosperity?

What are the What works, Let’s Do This Costs of Inaction? at What Cost?

Miami-Dade County Prosperity Initiatives Feasibility Study 7 Conclusions

Despite Miami-Dade’s considerable assets the County’s 1 economy is less competitive and underperforming

In Miami-Dade County the Barriers to expanded prosperity 2 have been growing, rather than easing

Failing to address Miami-Dade County’s prosperity gap could 3 present a sustained, growing drag on the broader economy

Miami-Dade County Prosperity Initiatives Feasibility Study 8 Conclusions

The impacts and barriers to expanded prosperity in Miami-Dade 4 are not limited to the County’s lowest income earners

Programs to expand prosperity are a sound economic 5 investment

Miami-Dade County Prosperity Initiatives Feasibility Study 28 Yet the parts of this country with the highest mobility rates — like Pittsburgh, Seattle and Salt Lake City — have rates roughly as high as those in Denmark and Norway, two countries at the top of the international mobility rankings. In areas like Atlanta and Memphis, by comparison, upward mobility appears to be substantially lower than in any other rich country, Mr. Chetty said.

Especially intriguing is the fact that children who moved at a young age from a low- mobility area to a high-mobility area did almost as well as those who spent their entire childhoods in a higher-mobility area. But children who moved as teenagers did less well.

That pattern makes economists more confident that the characteristics of different regions — as opposed to something inherent and unchangeable in the local residents — are helping cause the varying mobility rates.

Lawrence Katz, a labor economist who did not work on the project, said he was struck by the fact that areas with high levels of income mobility were also those that established high school earliest and have long had strong school systems. Mr. Katz, a Harvard economist and former Clinton administration official, called the work “certainly the most comprehensive analysis of intergenerational mobility in the contemporary U.S.” Advanced industries’ share of total employment varies significantly across major metropolitan areas
