One of the keys to equitable economic development and creation of quality jobs is how we use land. Land use decisions drive everything from the type of jobs (service, manufacturing, tech) to quality of jobs to environmental impacts. The panel will analyze successful campaigns and explore key opportunities and coalition models for major impact throughout the region. Equitable economic development and quality jobs are the result of making the right decisions on land use involving the community. How do we move from localized thinking to a regional approach for workforce and economic development? How can advocates recognize opportunities? What are the tools they can use to advance equitable development in their respective communities? Moderator: Belén Seara, Director of Community Relations, San Mateo County Union Community Alliance Panelists: Anu Natarajan, Vice Mayor of the City of Fremont Feng Kung, Lead Organizer, Jobs with Justice San Francisco Jahmese Myres, Senior Research & Policy Associate, East Bay Alliance for a Sustainable Economy (EBASE) This panel is part of the Boards and Commissions Leadership Institute's (BCLI) Current Issues Series of Urban Habitat.

- 10. Today, just over one third of all Bay Area workers are low and moderate wage-‐-‐earning less than $18 per hour. Source: 5-‐year 2011 American Community Survey (PUMS data) Project goal is economic mobility: how to move low and moderate wage workers into middle income jobs (earning at least $18 to $30 per hour) 2010! Share of total workforce! $30 and above! 1,196,090! 38%! $18 to $30 an hour! 850,210! 27%! Under $18 an hour! 1,126,860! 36%! Total! 3,173,160!
- 11. Goal 1: Improve career pathways from low and moderate wage work to middle wage jobs. Goal 2: Grow the economy in the Bay Area, with a parFcular emphasis on growing middle-‐wage jobs. Goal 3: Upgrade condiFons, parFcularly for workers in exisFng low-‐wage and moderate-‐wage jobs. How did we come up with these three interconnected goals? To accomplish this goal, the strategy aims to accomplish three related goals

- 14. Therefore, in order to grow middle wage jobs, you have to grow the whole economy – even though some projec6ons show the share of jobs paying middle wages will decline.
- 15. OccupaFons with median wages below $17.83 an hour in the East Bay • $15 to $18 Office clerks, medical assistants, nursing aides, delivery truck drivers, recep6onists, shipping clerks • $12 to $15 Pre-‐school teachers, janitors, security guards, laborers, groundskeepers, cooks • $9 to $12 Stock clerks, retail salespersons, home health aides, cashiers, maids, child care workers, bartenders, food prep workers, dishwashers, counter abendants, fast food cooks, and waiters/waitresses But the jobs that pay less than $18 per hour are not going away…and will likely grow…

- 17. So it is important to improve the quality of work at the bobom of the wage scale because many will remain there.
- 18. At the same 6me, we have to acknowledge that lower wage workers live everywhere – They are not concentrated in any par/cular neighborhood.
- 19. Lower wage jobs are located everywhere.
- 20. But most low wage workers drive (73% for low) – just like all workers (80%) 0% 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% 70% 80% 90% 100% > $18 < $18 < $11.25 101-‐ Mins. 61-‐100 Mins. 41-‐60 Mins. 31-‐40 Mins. 21-‐30 Mins. 11-‐20 Mins. 0-‐10 Mins. Bay Area commutes in minutes, by wage level So a higher percentage of lower wage workers tend to have the shorter commutes (nearly 60% have commutes of less than 20 minutes).
