LOS ANGELES —The LA County Department of Economic Opportunity or DEO Feb. 9 was selected to participate in the second phase of results for America’s good jobs & equity project, backed by the families and workers fund, which will help 12 communities implement job quality strategies that promote economic mobility and strengthen local economies.
Nationwide, more than 53 million Americans are working in low-wage jobs, and roughly six in 10 workers report being in “mediocre” or “bad” jobs. The project represents a growing movement to rethink what makes a good job and take evidence-based action to promote equitable, high-quality employment for all.
Through the project, jurisdictions will receive the tools, resources and skills needed to build and use evidence and data to create high-quality jobs. The project will also identify the most effective evidence-based strategies for improving job quality in more communities across the country.
The project will run through December 2024 and include a comprehensive evaluation of resident impact, with the goal to provide a roadmap for other communities advancing job quality.
