“WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH BANKING?”

You can’t understand the economy without following the labor markets, and that’s where the discussion must include the impact of the justice system on our workforce.
Social ills have taken a terrible toll on our workforce, and chief among them, the vicious cycle of incarceration and recidivism that has deprived us of the talents of millions of potential workers. The magnitude of these societal problems has made them true economic challenges.
