The Geography of AI, Teachers’ Thought s on Staying in the Classroom, and More

September 9, 2021

As America’s local leaders work to position their economies for post-pandemic success, what role will artificial intelligence (AI) play? In a new interactive report, Mark Muro and Sifan Liu examine the growth of the AI industry, highlight the hotspots where activity is clustering, and discuss the implications for regional development.

High stress, rampant burnout, and constant changes have been emblematic of the teaching experience during the pandemic. Surveying teachers across the United States, Gema Zamarro, Andrew Camp, Dillon Fuchsman, and Josh McGee examine what this means for attrition rates.

How much larger would the U.S. economic pie be if opportunities and outcomes were more equally distributed by race and ethnicity? In their new article for the Brookings Papers on Economic Activity (BPEA), Shelby Buckman, Laura Choi, Mary Daly, and Lily Seitelman seek to answer this question.

Join us for our Fall 2021 BPEA conference today at 10:00 AM EDT to hear more about the state of the American economy and recovery.
