Good Jobs Collaborative

Workers are mobilizing and demanding more of work - higher wages, decent hours, and a voice in their workplaces. Despite decades of economic growth and rising corporate profits, one out of four American workers does not earn a living wage. Even as wages are up since the pandemic, the rising cost of housing, healthcare, education, and other basic necessities can make raising a family feel like walking a tightrope - with no safety net below.

The relentless rise in economic inequality over the last forty years is distorting our politics and hindering efforts to support working families and provide the economic security that the majority of Americans want. Reversing that trend is an urgent national priority and a moral imperative.

The Good Jobs Collaborative is a coalition of labor, policy, and research organizations committed to building a good jobs economy in which the benefits of economic growth are fairly shared with workers, their families, and their communities. See our guiding principles here.

The Good Job Collaborative includes the Advancing Black Strategies Initiative, AFL-CIO, Aspen Institute’s Economic Opportunities Program, Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP), Center on Education & Labor at New America, Economic Policy Institute (EPI), Healthcare Career Advancement Program (H-CAP), High Road Strategy Center at University of Wisconsin, Jobs to Move America, Jobs with Justice, Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, Milwaukee Area Service and Hospitality Workers Organization (MASH), Restaurant Opportunities Centers (ROC) United, Roosevelt Institute, and the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
