Supporting the Workforce Development Ecosystem in Memphis
Thursday, 26 March, 2026

In Memphis, one in three people live near or below the poverty line. Memphis Works for Everyone (MemWorks), a partnership between MDRC and Slingshot Memphis, seeks to strengthen pathways to living-wage jobs for Memphis workers. MemWorks is using research and data to determine what local programs, policies, and interventions will help more workers improve their economic mobility. In this episode, Leigh Parise speaks with Jared Barnett, president and CEO of Slingshot Memphis, to discuss this partnership and what they're learning.
