Economic Mobility in the Houston Area

About

When global oil prices fell roughly 70% between 2014 and 2016, Houston’s economy took a severe hit. The Kinder Institute’s forthcoming Economic Mobility Report finds that more than a decade later, the region still hasn’t fully recovered.

Join us for a webinar exploring the report’s key findings, focusing on:

• Income and mobility: How employment, incomes, poverty levels and job transitions changed as a result of the oil shock.

• Economic impact: Which industries absorbed the blow and how the local economy transformed.

• Metro comparison: How Houston fared compared to U.S. metro areas less dependent on oil and gas.
