In partnership with the Schultz Family Foundation and the Harvard Project on Workforce, the Burning Glass Institute has been leading the American Opportunity Index and now the Where You Work Matters Initiative. We have studied the career histories of millions of Americans to better understand what moves people ahead. Our core finding: where you work matters. We see marked differences in the mobility of workers based on their employer and occupation – and we’re elevating these insights in the form of new resources and tools, with the twin goals of helping workers make career decisions with confidence and supporting employers invest more effectively into talent attraction and retention.
