12. RESULTING CHANGES TO MAYOR’S
STRATEGIC GOAL FOR WAGES
Original
New
Improve average wages (in all industries covered by unemployment insurance) to top
quartile of urban peer cities by FY16. “Advantage Louisville,” our community’s five-year
economic development strategy, will inform most of this goal’s initiatives.
Improve median annual wages, adjusted for cost of living, to the top half (1/2) of peer cities
by 2020 and top third (1/3) by 2030.

13. RESULTING CHANGES TO MAYOR’S
STRATEGIC GOAL FOR JOBS
Achieve an employment rate that is within the top quartile of peer cities annually and
increase economic growth and innovation consistent with the Bluegrass Economic
Advancement Movement (BEAM) Metropolitan Business Plan proposed by Brookings
by FY18. "Advantage Louisville," our community's five-year economic development
strategy, will inform most of this goal's initiatives.
