Power of New Philanthropy with Dr. Angela Jackson
2020-11-03
The coronavirus pandemic has made existing inequalities in our country even worse. Up to 86% of initial pandemic layoffs were of low wage workers — meaning jobs that pay under $40,000 per year. These jobs have disproportionate concentrations of African-Americans, Hispanics, and people with a high-school education or less.
At the same time, the digital revolution is creating a widening skill gap. Many people who are unemployed during this pandemic are now seeking to acquire skills for new careers, yet do not have the resources to pay for training.
In this episode, we’re sharing the story of Angela Jackson, a partner at New Profit, a venture organization that backs social entrepreneurs who are advancing equity and opportunity in the U.S. Angela shares why it’s critical for those in a place of privilege to use it for good and why it’s important to get capital into the hands of those who need it most.
