Higher Education
A Powerful Lever in Philadelphia’s Poverty Disruption Engine
Abstract
Philadelphia is a city juxtaposed. Her arms are buoyed, lifted by interminable possibilities. She is, after all, the sixth largest city in the country. In 2016, she boasted a job growth of 2.2 percent compared to a 1.7 percent national average, according to The Pew Charitable Trusts’ “Philadelphia 2017” report1. She is known as the city of “eds and meds” -- home to more than one hundred higher education institutions and a vigorous healthcare industry. By most accounts, she is well equipped to house, educate, employ, entertain, transport, and provide for many of her residents’ needs and much of their wants. But not all.
