Hispanic Postsecondary Enrollment Increases Throughout the Fifth District
Ullrich, Laura Dawson; Latham, Sierra (2022-12-16)
Colleges and universities across the country have become more racially and ethnically diverse over the last decade. While 62.6 percent of students enrolled in higher education in the U.S. identified as white in 2010, that rate had fallen to 54.0 percent in 2020. (Note: throughout the article, white refers to non-Hispanic white and Black refers to non-Hispanic Black.) The percentage of students identifying as Black also fell, declining from 15.0 percent in 2010 to 13.1 percent in 2020. So which minority groups experienced growth? While the Asian share of enrollment grew from 6.3 percent to 7.7 ...

How the CHIPS and Science Act Will Target Economic Development in Distressed Labor Markets
Scavette, Adam (2022-10-13)
As part of this past summer's CHIPS and Science Act, Congress not only funneled $50 billion of federal funding into U.S. semiconductor production, but also allocated $1 billion for a new place-based policy – the Recompete Pilot Program (RPP). The RPP, unrelated to semiconductor production, seeks to boost competitiveness and growth in several of the nation's persistently economically distressed areas. The program intends to target long-term comprehensive economic development and job creation in selected areas by supporting workforce development, business development, and infrastructure ...

Parsing the Slow Post-Pandemic Labor Market Recovery of Maryland’s Capital Suburbs
Scavette, Adam; Waters, Keith (2023-10-05)
The District of Columbia and its inner ring suburbs — referred to as the Capital Beltway after Interstate 495 — has historically been the core job center for the Washington Metropolitan Area1. (See map below.) Following restrictions to in-person activities at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in spring 2020, unemployment spiked within the Capital Beltway, jobs were shed, and commuting patterns shifted. The labor market recovery from the pandemic shock has been uneven within the Capital Beltway, with stronger growth in the Virginia suburbs than the District of Columbia and Maryland's ...

Shifting Rurality: Is it Possible to Increase Population and Become More Rural?
Phelps, Hailey (2024-04-11)
In January, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS) released the 2023 update of the Rural-Urban Continuum Codes (RUCCs), resulting in changes for many counties, including those in the Fifth District. The USDA-ERS developed the nine-code classification system in 1974 to identify a county's level of rurality based on its degree of urbanization and adjacency to a metro area: RUCC 1 is the least rural, and RUCC 9 is the most rural. Following each decennial census, the USDA-ERS does a full update of the RUCCs to reflect population and metro/nonmetro area changes. ...

Fifth District Firms and the Prospect of Higher Input Prices
Edwards, Zach; Kosakow, Jason (2025-02-25)
Since the middle of 2023, firms' year-ahead input price growth expectations have been relatively steady, hovering around 3 percent for manufacturers and between 4 to 5 percent for service providers. However, recent developments in trade and tariff policy have introduced new uncertainty into firms' decision-making. In December, our surveys showed little evidence that this uncertainty had made its way into firms' price or cost growth expectations. Data from our February surveys show a slight uptick in firms' expected growth in the prices they pay their suppliers.In addition to the slight uptick ...
