How can communities shape economic development and create quality jobs
The document discusses strategies for community-driven economic development aimed at generating quality jobs, especially focusing on moving low and moderate wage workers to middle-income positions. It outlines three interconnected goals: improving career pathways, growing the economy with emphasis on middle-wage jobs, and enhancing conditions for existing low-wage workers. Examples from Fremont and Oakland illustrate community involvement, policy advocacy, and financial investments to create sustainable job opportunities and inclusive economic growth.

- 10. Today, just over one third of all Bay Area workers are low and moderate wage-‐-‐earning less than $18 per hour. Source: 5-‐year 2011 American Community Survey (PUMS data) Project goal is economic mobility: how to move low and moderate wage workers into middle income jobs (earning at least $18 to $30 per hour) 2010! Share of total workforce! $30 and above! 1,196,090! 38%! $18 to $30 an hour! 850,210! 27%! Under $18 an hour! 1,126,860! 36%! Total! 3,173,160!
- 11. Goal 1: Improve career pathways from low and moderate wage work to middle wage jobs. Goal 2: Grow the economy in the Bay Area, with a parFcular emphasis on growing middle-‐wage jobs. Goal 3: Upgrade condiFons, parFcularly for workers in exisFng low-‐wage and moderate-‐wage jobs. How did we come up with these three interconnected goals? To accomplish this goal, the strategy aims to accomplish three related goals

- 14. Therefore, in order to grow middle wage jobs, you have to grow the whole economy – even though some projec6ons show the share of jobs paying middle wages will decline.
- 15. OccupaFons with median wages below $17.83 an hour in the East Bay • $15 to $18 Office clerks, medical assistants, nursing aides, delivery truck drivers, recep6onists, shipping clerks • $12 to $15 Pre-‐school teachers, janitors, security guards, laborers, groundskeepers, cooks • $9 to $12 Stock clerks, retail salespersons, home health aides, cashiers, maids, child care workers, bartenders, food prep workers, dishwashers, counter abendants, fast food cooks, and waiters/waitresses But the jobs that pay less than $18 per hour are not going away…and will likely grow…

- 17. So it is important to improve the quality of work at the bobom of the wage scale because many will remain there.
- 18. At the same 6me, we have to acknowledge that lower wage workers live everywhere – They are not concentrated in any par/cular neighborhood.
- 19. Lower wage jobs are located everywhere.
- 20. But most low wage workers drive (73% for low) – just like all workers (80%) 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% > $18 < $18 < $11.25 101-‐ Mins. 61-‐100 Mins. 41-‐60 Mins. 31-‐40 Mins. 21-‐30 Mins. 11-‐20 Mins. 0-‐10 Mins. Bay Area commutes in minutes, by wage level So a higher percentage of lower wage workers tend to have the shorter commutes (nearly 60% have commutes of less than 20 minutes).
