“Digital skill building has a direct economic impact on students, families, businesses, and the community as a whole.”
“Closing the Digital Skill Divide“, Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta, 2024
“Workers that qualify for jobs that require even one digital skill can earn an average of 23 percent more than in a job requiring no digital skills. Moving from a job requiring no digital skills to one requiring at least three can increase pay by an average of 45%.”
National Skills Coalition – February 2023
“The digital skill divide disproportionately impacts workers of color, low-income individuals, and rural residents, due to historic underinvestment and structural inequities.”
Brookings Institute, 2024
