Opportunities and Challenges: A Community Perspective on Nonprofit Services for Latinos and Community Need

Opportunities and Challenges: A Community Perspective on Nonprofit Services for Latinos and Community Need provides an important snapshot of the current nonprofit services, capacity gaps, and barriers to service from the perspectives of Latino community members and nonprofit leaders in four communities in the metropolitan Chicago area. It builds on reports by the Institute for Latino Studies and the Chicago Council on Global Affairs that document the features of this important demographic shift, the economic, social, and cultural roles Latinos play, and challenges facing Latinos in the Chicago metropolitan area. It also builds on a recent report by the United Way of Metropolitan Chicago and the Chicago Community Trust that describes the work of nonprofit health and human services organizations in light of broader demographic shifts, policy changes, and stagnant and decreased funding

Measuring Chicago's (Artistically) Creative Economy

This study measures the creative industries and workers of Chicago and eight peer cities. It is meant to provide an objective benchmark for Chicago as it undertakes the goals articulated in the Chicago Cultural Plan 2012 of attracting and retaining creative professionals and measuring the size and strength of the cultural sector. Quick facts:Creative workers, a group which includes professionals such as scientists and programmers as well as artists, make up almost 21% of Chicago's civilian labor force, which approximates the portion of creative workers in the US labor force.However, if one looks at artists specifically, Chicago rises above the national baseline: the portion of Chicago's labor force made up of artists is 1.6 times that of the US.An estimated 63,008 artists work in Chicago. Designers represent the largest share of the artist workforce in Chicago, at 36.3 percent.Fifty-seven percent of Chicago's artist labor force is employed in the for-profit sector. Among the cities studied, only Houston and Philadelphia employ barely larger proportions of their artist labor force in the for-profit sector.Chicago's artist workforce is less diverse than its total population in terms of race and ethnicity. Seventy-four percent of Chicago's artist workforce is White (non-Hispanic), compared with a total population that is 32 percent White (non-Hispanic).Among Chicago artists, writers/authors and architects are most highly concentrated compared to the U.S. as a whole. Chicago also has higher concentrations of designers, musicians, photographers, actors, and dancers compared to the national baseline

The Chicago Convention was written in an era when States were the principal actors in air transport.

This article explores the ways in which the exercise of State sovereignty in airspace has evolved, and examines the Chicago Convention’s viability 75 years on
