      Thirteen million US households have negative net worth.
      The share of U.S. households with negative net worth – meaning that the amount of debt they owe exceeds the value of all the assets they own – jumped above its historical trend during the Great Recession (2007-2009) and never returned to normal.

      Hiring Tech Equity Experts
      In 2021, Aspen Digital joined a diverse group of tech companies, researchers, and DEI experts in publishing the landmark ACT Report, which outlines a wide range of recommendations for improving the representation, inclusion, and empowerment of underserved and marginalized communities. As a next step to this work, the Aspen Institute is launching a new initiative to carry out the vision and recommendations of that report and translate them to measurable, collective action.
