Korver-Glenn Article Explores the Consequences of Occupational Inequality
Occupational inequality is an important driver of racial, gender, and class inequalities in the American workforce. CSDE External Affiliate Elizabeth Korver-Glenn (University of North Carolina) recently published an article in Social Forces that focuses on residential property managers to understand how structural marginalization plays out in a segregated profession. Drawing on 80 in-depth interviews, the study demonstrates the burdens that fall on marginalized workers in property management and how those burdens result in financial and health-related consequences for renters.

*New* APPAM Webinar on the Future for Data Access (3/4/25)
Join the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) for a webinar focused on on data access and what researchers who rely on federal datasets for their work might expect in the future from the Trump administration.
The webinar will explore the availability of data on agency websites, access to confidential data, interaction with agency staff, and data continuity and quality. Panelists will assess what has changed and where efforts to get answers from the administration stand. The panel will also discuss the next steps in the pursuit against missing public information that underpins the research all our members engage in. Time will be reserved for audience questions. This webinar is free and open to all. Learn more and register here.
