DC is already known for its well-educated workforce, Federal government resources, friendly environment for women entrepreneurs, and a growing reputation for socially-oriented business. But how is DC doing on diversifying its labor force and job pool? How can the District better support and sustain entrepreneurship? What can we learn from those pushing forward DC’s innovation ecosystem and building momentum for the impact economy?
