U.S. states and territories face a wide range of economic, political and social challenges and play a critical role in the nation’s overall economy and in the lives in their residents.

Brookings experts examine how the states and territories are faring in today’s challenging economic climate and how innovation at the state and local level can create a stable and productive economy.

More than 70 percent of today's baby boomers and seniors are white, and they grew up during a time when the nation's minority population was relatively small and consisted mainly of African Americans. By contrast, 40 percent of those under age 35 belong to minority groups. They have grown up during a period when racial mingling is the norm at school, work, social occasions and houses of worship.
