Economic Education as Key to a Strong Economic Future

Abstract: In his opening remarks at today’s National Association of Economic Educators 2025 Spring Professional Development Conference, Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia President and CEO Patrick Harker stated that “there is no more pressing time for economic education than right now.” “It’s vital to have an educated society that understands how their decisions, as individuals, play a direct role in our economy,” said Harker. “The more young people learn about the impacts of these decisions, the better it is for them as consumers and citizens, and the better it will be for our economy in the long run.” He emphasized the Philly Fed’s ongoing commitment to economic educators in continuing “to be a resource [they] can rely upon.”
