 Hiring Equity: Can MnDOT End 20 Years of Failure to Meet Hiring Goals for People of Color  The Alliance for Metropolitan Stability is excited to release the most recent paper in our Race and Regionalism series - "Hiring Equity: Can MnDOT End 20 years of Failure to Meet Hiring Goals for People of Color?" This paper addresses the institutional and cultural changes that will be necessary to end employment disparities in the Twin Cities region.
