Why Are We Ignoring the Midwest?

from Origin Story Hosted by Adam Smith

This episode is also available as a blog post: https://bit.ly/IgnoringMidwest When you think of the Midwest, it probably conjures up familiar images. Wide open fields. Little population. Few jobs. Low diversity. That may be true of some parts, but that's largely not representative of the cities. The region hosts refugee programs and international students from around the world. For instance, Minnesota and Wisconsin play host to large Muslim and Hmong communities. It has some of the top universities in the country: Northwestern, Notre Dame, and the Big 10 (University of Chicago, Purdue University, Michigan State University, University of Wisconsin - Madison) Why are we not investing in the Midwest?
