The Economic Opportunity Index
Executive Summary
Overview
How much opportunity do Americans have today compared to 25 years ago? How does opportunity compare across gender and racial groups? What will matter most in ensuring opportunity in America in the future?
The Economic Opportunity Index (EOI) is a tool for measuring the extent to which Americans have the opportunities available to them to achieve the American Dream, and identifying those factors which could contribute most to improved opportunity in the future.

Local Chapters
Members work with local political, business, and civic leaders on opportunity-expanding projects in their cities. We help local chapter members convene policymakers, practitioners, and the business community at Opportunity Exchanges that support local initiatives to build an Opportunity Economy. Our current work includes an effort to connect low-income Angelenos with green workforce development efforts in Los Angeles. In 2008-09, we intend to expand our Local Chapter efforts to NYC, DC, San Francisco, and Austin. Interested in joining a local chapter?
