Quality Jobs
We believe that a quality job should include:
- Family supporting compensation (e.g. above the county average annual wage)
- A safe and healthy workplace
- Stable, durable employment
- Ability to work near where one lives
- Skill standards (high skilled, multi-skilled; industry recognition of standard)
