Good jobs are the foundation of an equitable economy, one that lifts up workers and families and supports local communities. To access good jobs—those that are in demand and pay a living wage—a postsecondary education is critical. More than 1,000 people are released from state and federal prisons every day, and many already have a high school education. Colleges and corrections agencies can build postsecondary programs to meet the skills gap and help those returning home from prison access stable employment. #postincarceration #incarceration #collgeinprison #employment #VeraInstitute #FACTS Get the facts and learn more at vera.org https://www.vera.org/publications/the-labor-market-for-people-with-conviction-histories For more information visit: https://www.vera.org https://www.facebook.com/verainstitute https://twitter.com/verainstitute
