Government needs to harness the power of evidence and data to create stability and pathways for growth in every community in America. Although governments at all levels control the most important levers to accelerate upward mobility, they are clearly not using them fully to increase opportunity at the pace and scale our nation needs.
Results for America’s 2020 Playbook: 17 Ways the Next President Can Accelerate Economic Mobility Using Evidence and Data is a resource for presidential campaigns that includes 17 concrete policy proposals which the next Administration should implement to be able to use rigorous evidence and data to advance economic mobility across the country while also making the federal government more effective and efficient.
Results for America urges presidential candidates to include all of these recommendations in their campaign proposals. While these ideas would work most effectively if implemented together, each of them can also be included as separate stand-alone proposals within any economic mobility, social services, or government reform plan put forth by a presidential campaign.
