SAN FRANCISCO – Today, the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco will livestream the second in a series of virtual discussions about The New Future of Work. This event will explore the future of cities and what’s next for employers and employees once the COVID-19 pandemic is behind us.
As new, remote work options decouple employees from their employers’ physical locations, panelists will discuss the future of city centers across the country, the urban and rural divide, and how small businesses and essential, onsite workers could be affected. The conversation will be moderated by Mary C. Daly, president and CEO of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.
Featured panelists include:
- Keisha Lance Bottoms, mayor of Atlanta, Georgia
- Earvin “Magic” Johnson, chairman and CEO of Magic Johnson Enterprises (MJE)
- Lauren McLean, mayor of Boise, Idaho
- Enrico Moretti, professor of economics at the University of California, Berkeley
The online event is open to the public and will be livestreamed via Twitter and Facebook from 10:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. Pacific. Archived video from this event will be available on-demand at frbsf.org.
Additional events in The New Future of Work series will be announced in the coming months at frbsf.org.
The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (SF Fed) works to advance the nation’s monetary, financial, and payment systems to build a stronger economy for all Americans. As part of the U.S. central bank, the SF Fed serves the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, which covers the nine western states—Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawai’i, Idaho, Nevada, Oregon, Utah, and Washington—plus American Samoa, Guam, and the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. By pursuing our two key goals of maximum employment and price stability—known as the Fed’s dual mandate—we work toward supporting an economy that works for everyone.
