Talent Talk: Understanding the Cliff Effect | Webinar Recording + Resources

July 12, 2022 by Ryan Hecht Leave a Comment

On Tuesday, June 21, the Arvada Chamber hosted “Understanding The Cliff Effect,” the second of its quarterly Talent Talk series. The cliff effect occurs when a pay raise at work triggers a disproportionate loss of government assistance. Unfortunately, even a small raise can “push people off the cliff” when it comes to benefits such as subsidized food, housing, and childcare. In this Talent Talk, experts helped explain trends, resources, and solutions related to tackling this challenge.

Thank you to our panelists:

  • Jessica Hanson, Jeffco Prosperity Project (JPP)
  • Scott Fast, Innovate+Educate
  • Juan Pena, Cross Purpose
