Our Mission
The Great Recession has devastated the American economy. Unemployment is still far too high, new jobs frequently don’t pay as much as the jobs that disappeared, and many Americans are facing long-term unemployment, underemployment, and involuntary part-time employment. The lack of good jobs has put some lives and careers on hold and wrecked others. The government—especially political leaders and policy makers—have not done enough to fix the jobs crisis. Since the governing elites have too often failed, an active and loud electorate must push for them to act now and Fix the Jobs.
