Local Jobs & Economy

Aaron An, Local Jobs, Better Economy

A diverse, healthy local economy means that people get the opportunities they need to live full and meaningful lives. It also contributes to community harmony and less social dislocation.

We should put more resources into economic development. All government levels, along with businesses and the community, can play a role.
