Opportunity Insights – New research shows how trends have changed in economic mobility based on data for 57M children born between 1978 and 1992. The racial gap in adulthood incomes between Black and white children raised in low-income families, though still large, shrank by 27% nationally, the same as in Greenville County. In locations where Black children’s outcomes have improved the most, white children also did relatively better, underscoring what we have long-argued, that opportunity is not a zero-sum game.
