Increasing the Payoff to Workers, Employers & Taxpayers: Reframing Public Benefits Cliffs Beyond the Pandemic
The Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta is partnering with The Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond, Robins Foundation, and the City of Richmond Office of Community Wealth Building to support states and employers in identifying career pathways that pay off for workers, employers, and the taxpayer. Join us to learn more about the Career Ladder Identifier and Financial Forecaster (CLIFF) Dashboard, an interactive tool that depicts wages along select career pathways to indicate barriers presented by losses in means-tested public benefits, also known as "benefits cliffs."
