Fighting for a High Wage America
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

You're invited to "Reinvesting in Innovation and the Industrial Heartland" on June
13, 2017 - a lunchtime event to launch a new project of Jeff Madrick and The Century
Foundation that says it's time that American workers got a raise. This event will
feature opening remarks by Senator Bob Casey (D-PA), Representative Marcy Kaptur
 (D-OH-9), Heartland's Tom Croft and Amy Goldstein of the Washington Post, author
of "Janesville: An American Story."
The "High Wage America Project" is a research and policy program led by The Century
Foundation's Bernard L. Schwartz Rediscovering Government Initiative. It will focus
on how to bring high wage work back to America's heartland, through revitalizing
 manufacturing; positioning America as a global leader in technological innovation;
expanding apprenticeship, career, and technical education opportunities; and targeted
investments to create high-quality, high-paying jobs.
Join the Century Foundation, leaders on Capitol Hill, community partners, labor 
and industry coalitions and others as we work together to develop concrete proposals
to revive high wage jobs for hardworking Americans.

Public Policy and Investments in Good Quality Jobs - A Report from InSight at Pacific
Community Ventures
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

By: Patrick Duggan, InSight
Despite years of economic growth and a declining unemployment rate, the economy 
- from the perspective of many Americans - is far from healthy. For decades, wages
for everyone but the top quintile of earners have remained stagnant or declined,
 while Americans' participation in the workforce is at its lowest level in nearly
forty years. At Pacific Community Ventures, we believe that community development
financial institutions (CDFIs) and the broader impact investing industry are ideally
positioned to tackle this issue by supporting businesses that create high-quality
jobs offering decent wages, benefits, career and wealth-building opportunities, 
and fair and engaging workplaces.
Yet America's jobs problem is too large and complex for individual businesses and
investors to confront on their own. Without a concerted effort by government to 
improve job quality in partnership with businesses, investors, and the social sector,
we cannot credibly expect to see changes in the economic trends that have left most
American workers behind for decades.
