The Working Class Needs Quality Jobs
Why We’re Sharing This:
One of RVA Rising’s core priorities is expanding access to rewarding work that supports upward mobility. This research strengthens that effort by emphasizing the need for a clear, measurable definition of job quality, particularly around wages. It helps ground regional conversations in data and supports more precise, aligned investments in workforce and economic development.
