Abstract	Steps taken to address racial inequality in the private sector and higher education are not always altruistic. This brief examines the economic impact of having a representative workforce, focusing on the state of North Carolina (NC). It discusses the importance of successful education programming designed to address issues related to Black, Indigenous, Hispanic, and people of color (BIPOC) and adult learners through the lens of an equitably skilled workforce, creating a stronger state and nation. Equity in higher education can be accomplished by meeting the needs of marginalized and minoritized populations, particularly BIPOC students. As well, the North Carolina economy can increase its GDP by positively impacting the racial wealth gap. North Carolina Community Colleges as presented in this brief generated $35.3 billion in social benefits in 2019-20, including $23.8 billion in added student income, $8.7 billion in added business income, $2.1 billion in added income from the colleges' activities, and $633.9 million in social savings. The information presented demonstrates that the benefits of North Carolina community colleges is an investment to the future of North Carolina. (ERIC).
