Reasoned solutions in the nation’s interest
American leadership, prosperity, and competitiveness hinge on maximizing the contributions of our nation’s workers. In keeping with the nation’s interest in the global competitiveness of the American workforce, CED has a long tradition of helping all Americans to reach their full potential. As part of that effort, CED assesses the challenges and drivers that may be keeping some Americans from more fully participating in the labor force or better developing in-demand talents and skills, the reforms that may be needed to the immigration system to best capitalize on international talent and proposes policy solutions in the national interest that will help more American families share in increasing prosperity through work.
As our nation marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, we have a historic opportunity to renew our commitment to its founding ideals.
