#NEW: The first economic impact analysis of the largest remote worker incentive program, @tulsaremote.
The first cohort of members will contribute $62 mil. in new local earnings in 2021—a near-14x return for each $1 spent on the incentive 🧵⬇️

Outcomes for entrepreneurial firms vary by incentive type, but these policy recommendations can improve the chances for success.

The missing piece is those not in the labor force. NILFs fell more in the non-cutoff states. So, in cutoff states, employment rose and unemployment fell, while in non-cutoff states employment rose almost as much but by bringing people back into the labor force.

So excited to see this out - @SmartIncentives report @KauffmanFDN. This report is packed with important insights on incentives and #entrepreneurship! @dhackler + E Harpel

CA's leaders should not craft tax & fiscal policies that cater to the whims of the wealthy & corporations. We should generate revenues for much larger investments in sustaining & growing a working & middle class; a CA where everyone can afford to stay & thrive. @CalBudgetCenter

@PPICNotes report says "most people move for economic and family reasons" and finds that 1/3 of Californians have considered leaving due to housing costs. @CalBudgetCenter

Great work by @PPICNotes' Hans Johnson -- Who’s Leaving California—and Who’s Moving In? - who debunks the rich/wealthy are leaving California exodus narrative using the latest census data. ppic.org/blog/whos-leaving-c… @CalBudgetCenter

Scorecards and equity indicators are great tools for helping governments use incentives wisely in support of their economic development objectives.
With Covid triggering budget crises for local governments, there’s a greater need for them to wield incentives effectively in ways that support inclusive growth, racial equity goals, and fiscal health, @WhatWorksCities’ @LGermanTweets & @joeparilla write. brook.gs/3xLWLkR

Re #Foxconn: Mega deals, "are highly unlikely to play out exactly as projected (they are projections after all) OR to stay at a steady state of operations for years or decades (industries evolve and economies go through cycles)."

Thank you @bstabile1 @ScharSchool for organizing this incredible program with so many inspirational ideas for better #data, power and policy from @kanarinka @RepDonBeyer @ximenahartsock @smithmegan.
How does data affect feminism? How does data affect feminism among races, ethnicities, and class? How to change it is the question @kanarinka #MIT explains @4/8 book talk w/ @RepDonBeyer, @ximenahartsock, former USCTO Megan J. Smith. Noon @scharschool: bit.ly/39as6Dd

The "surplus" is a function of challenges of forecasting revenue in a pandemic. All those revenues we now know the state is collecting, along with the federal aid from #arpa will be needed, to address the public health and economic effects of the pandemic. @CalBudgetCenter

Which is why calling it a "surplus" is questionable. We went from a '19-20 budget of $148b to a '20-21 budget of $134b (due to unknowns re: revenues), to a proposed '21-22 budget of $164b. But, the needs of Californians increased significantly the whole time. @CalBudgetCenter

States need to develop a remote work policy within their incentive programs. "Remote/hybrid work is not expected to go away, and it will become an important part of company strategies to address their ongoing talent needs."
