Current Research

Here at COWS, economists, social scientists, policy analysts, and others investigate a range of important issues: Which workforce development strategies are most effective? How can a faltering community or region achieve healthy economic growth? COWS researchers, often in collaboration with colleagues at other institutions and with generous foundation support, are hard at work analyzing these questions – and using their findings to promote better public policy choices for us all.
