The question is prompted by an initiative by CEOs for Cities on the impact of educational attainment on economic performance. You can read the report below.
The newspaper then followed up with an editorial:

Northeast Ohio is engaged in this conversation. You can download the Northeast Ohio Talent Dividend plan here. You can see the plan needs a good deal more detail and focus.

Cincinnati has one of the most ambitious initiatives underway to improve prospects for educational attainment. The initiative, called Strive, is summarized in this paper. You can also view the Strive web site.
