At the Knight Center of Digital Excellence, we’re advocates of broadband expansion, in part because we believe it can empower individuals, and especially those who most need help.
A recent eMarketer study shows how this can happen. In this tough economy, 18.8 million people conducted online job searches in December, a 51 percent increase from the year before.
The study further found that among those with lower income and education, more people are going online for economic news, job information and education.
We feel these numbers not only demonstrate the impact broadband technology is having on our lives, but shows how important Internet access can be in bridging social and economic divides.
