The employability of returning citizens is key to neighborhood revitalization

Ozgur Ergungor () and Nelson Oliver

Economic Commentary, 2013, issue Nov

Abstract: One problem low-income communities may face in trying to revitalize is dealing with a high share of residents who are returning home after serving prison terms. Returning citizens often concentrate in low-income areas, and they typically lack the education and skills needed to fi nd jobs. This Commentary reviews these and other barriers to employment, estimates the degree of unemployment, and describes some solutions emerging for this population.
