The reestablishment of the census as a civic engagement exercise that is part of our democracy is a great outcome to have this 4th of July. All in all, the nation is the winner. brook.gs/2RVpkYK

With 99% of all new jobs created since the Great Recession requiring some formal education beyond high school, state leaders and presidential aspirants would be wise to set ambitious education attainment goals within the Midwestern region. @John_C_Austin brook.gs/2XL3dpR pic.twitter.com/7TPHqedOxC

The good news, writes William Frey, is that the nation’s younger, diverse populations will soon become part of the body politic. Perhaps then, all branches of the government will come to recognize that the nation’s demographic future should not be ignored. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…

While the latest jobs report showed a positive employment outlook, there were big divides between white and black unemployment. In fact, @andreperryedu writes, black unemployment is still at recession levels. brook.gs/2Xto3xd pic.twitter.com/xj2b8eqzCh

The week's new attacks on cities represent just one more knee-jerk mini-aggression aimed at distraction.

.@andreperryedu: For-profit colleges aren’t the only malicious actors (in higher education). Private and public non-profit as well as state ed depts are doing their best to create criteria that limit the number of options for low-income students. brook.gs/2X16noZ

Trump is slamming big cities again (wapo.st/2NIx7uz?tid=ss…)
But our big cities are the dynamic anchor of the U.S. economy and have been leading growth

Other big winners from the omission of the citizenship question on the 2020 census are public and private sector decisionmakers who rely on accurate surveys that will be taken over the entire next decade and are based on the census. brook.gs/2RVpkYK 4/4

Perhaps the biggest gain for preserving a democratic representative government, via keeping a citizenship question off the census, is the ability to maintain a fair redistricting of legislative districts within states. 3/

Clear winners in this outcome to keep a citizenship question off the census are states, cities and neighborhoods with large numbers of households that contain foreign born, noncitizen populations. 2/

Chief Justice Roberts note that the justification for adding a census citizenship question "seems to have been contrived" flies in the face of the Trump Admin’s manufactured reasoning for attempting to add it, says William Frey in a @washingtonpost op-ed. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2019/0…
