Minorities Missing in Tech Fields

A new study produced by local urban think tank Policy Bridge says there is a growing threat to regional competitiveness in Northeast Ohio: The dearth of blacks and Hispanics in emerging technology businesses.

Join our discussion, Thursday at 9:00 on The Sound of Ideas.
