Job Quality

The role of private sector procurement and how it can be leveraged to affect economic opportunities for workers has become a critical area for attention.

One third of businesses reported adding employee benefits since baseline. The main employee benefits offered at midline are PTO (69%), paid sick leave (56%), health insurance (54%), and professional development opportunities (50%). These have both financial and opportunity costs to firms.

The Job Quality Fellowship brings together leaders in communities across the country who are working to expand the availability of better quality jobs.

For too long, poor job quality has been accepted as inevitable. It is not. It is possible to improve work.

In this edition of our Job Quality Newsletter, we examine the dangers of work and the evolving policies and regulations designed to make workplaces safe.

In this month’s newsletter, we lift up some of the upcoming and past discussions and writings we’ve done on equal opportunity at work.

We are pleased to present a selection of our work from the past month, including videos, commentary, events, and more.
