National Unemployment Crisis Playbook

The US needs a playbook for national unemployment crises. The National Unemployment Crisis Playbook is a first draft of such a playbook. It is based on research and interviews with stakeholders from several state unemployment agencies, the National Association of State Workforce Agencies, the federal government, and technology and policy professionals with extensive government experience. The playbook will help government stakeholders at the federal and state level respond more adeptly to each crisis as it happens.

This project was completed as part of the 2020 Tech Executive Leadership Initiative (TELI) hosted in conjunction with the Tech Talent Project. You can learn more about TELI here.
