Exploring Opportunity Occupations: Kicking off In-Demand Jobs Week with the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland
In this webinar we heard from from Kyle Fee, Senior Policy Analyst,
Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. He shared an overview of a new report he co-authored with Keith Wardrip from the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia and Lisa Nelson from the Federal Reserve Bank of Cleveland. Combining publicly available labor market information and online job ads data, their work identifies a subset of occupations that are generally accessible to those without a four-year college degree but pay above the national annual median wage (adjusted for regional price differences). They refer to these identified occupations as “opportunity occupations” and total amount of employment associated with them as “opportunity employment”. Their work also explores the factors that help explain the differences observed in the share of opportunity employment across the largest metros in the US.

The Benefit Cliff: View the recording here.
As families climb from poverty to economic independence, they lose public benefits as their income increases. Unfortunately, there are points on the journey where earning even $1 more means the family will lose a benefit worth hundreds of dollars each month. This phenomenon, known as the benefit cliff, can be a barrier to self-sufficiency for low income individuals.
This webinar, led by Emily Campbell, Associate Director of The Center for Community Solutions, introduces listeners to the benefit cliff and how it can impact low-income families. Data is presented which shows where Ohio working families experience a cliff, and there is discussion regarding how policy decisions in recent years have improved or deepened cliffs, and what it might take families to overcome these obstacles.
