Joint Center Quoted in African American Voice

Joint Center Senior Fellow and Former Vice President, Policy, Jessica Fulton was quoted in African American Voice on the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in America.

From the article: “Equity is a key component of DEI, aiming to level the playing field for historically underrepresented workers. Jessica Fulton, vice president of policy at the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, highlights that DEI policies address wage gaps and career stagnation marginalized groups face. Beyond hiring, companies develop inclusion strategies to help diverse employees feel safe, valued and supported. As Fulton notes, retention is as critical as recruitment: ‘It is about building a great team, treating that team well and retaining the folks they hire.'”
