The Good Jobs & Equity Project
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. Results for America’s Good Jobs & Equity Project (GJEP) was part of a growing movement to rethink what makes a good job and take evidence-based action to promote high-quality employment.
GJEP was launched in 2022 to support state and local government leaders in improving job quality and advancing equitable access to good jobs in their communities. Backed by the Families and Workers Fund, the project equipped jurisdictions across the country with the tools, resources and knowledge needed to build and use evidence and data to advance high-quality jobs.
Jurisdictions in the GJEP cohort learned about strategies to advance job quality and equitable access to good jobs in their communities through a series of virtual learning sessions with subject matter experts. These learning sessions were based on content in Results for America’s Job Quality Playbook. Jurisdictions then had an opportunity to put what they learned into practice by implementing job quality strategies and turning their visions into realities. Teams had access to technical assistance, resources, subject matter experts and other support to advance innovative job quality interventions in their communities.
