- We excerpted the latest Brookings Institution MetroMonitor: read about how the unemployment rate fell in 90 of the top 100 metros in the year to March 2012
- Elsa Falkenburger described innovative summer programs for low-income youth to combat the summer slide
- Sarah Benatar summarized a San Mateo County case study suggesting that Obamacare Medicaid expansion could benefit millions
Next week we’ll write about crime, low-income children and off-the-wall government revenue schemes – don’t miss out.
