Over the next few months, we will be asking you to work with your local partners and those who have developed the proposal to assess what can be done in your local jurisdiction or agency to promote the creation of high quality natural resource jobs for local workers. We thank you for your commitment to healthy ecosystems. We know the benefits of this proposal will not be realized overnight, but it is important that we begin our work to meet its goals. Adopt quality jobs as a management principle and organizational responsibility, recognizing that state and federal agencies can and should structure their programs of work in ways that maximize the quality of jobs for workers within these ecosystems. While each of the initiatives have had differing program objectives and varied geographically in scope, these principles have served as a common denominator.
Economic opportunities remain in their communities to enable people to continue to live and prosper.
Utilize and promote the skills and abilities of local workers and, 3. Generate family wage, sustainable employment. State, federal, and local partners working together to package and schedule projects with a focus on improving the quality of jobs for local citizens. While we may never have the collective amount of economic activity to create all the jobs desired or needed within an ecosystem, collaborative efforts will help to maximize the number of quality jobs. Reach out to improve partnerships with other state, federal, and local partners.
