.@sarahkalloch of @GoodJobsInst says the biz case for job quality is: good jobs means happier employees who provide better customer service. This creates higher financial returns. Trader Joes, for example makes specific operational choices based on this model. #CAFutureofWork

[Institute For The Future @iftf]

.@NoahSBernstein of the New World Foundation says government has a role to play in incenting the creation of job quality. What about a CA public quality jobs fund (public/private/philanthropic) that could expand the tax base and expand public revenues? #CAFutureofWork

What is the real cost of bad jobs? Companies/evaluators should not benchmark to against the lowest common denominator on wages or hours, as these are bad jobs - @sarahkalloch @GoodJobsInst #CAFutureofWork

[Quality Jobs Fund @QualityJobsFund]

Are these strategies working? It’s early days, but they are certainly showing promise and we believe we are starting to see innovative solutions and opportunities to further test and scale. #CAFutureofWork #QualityJobs

[Quality Jobs Fund @QualityJobsFund]

How do we incentivize quality jobs? How do we fund it & invest in it over time? asks @JulieSuCA #CAFutureofWork

[Quality Jobs Fund @QualityJobsFund]

Critical methods of QJF investment:

a. Growth capital to companies creating quality jobs.
b. Access to Affordable Capital— explicitly tied to improving job quality.
c. Focus on wealth and asset building, particularly in low margin industries. #CAFutureofWork

[Quality Jobs Fund @QualityJobsFund]

Baseline components across all QJF investment intermediaries:
1) A living wage;
2) A benefits package, including employer paid insurances, paid time off & retirement savings support;
3) Access to training, education and professional development on the job & upward mobility.

What makes a #qualityjob? asks @JulieSuCA. @NoahSBernstein notes we define quality jobs for working purposes only & invest w/ an evolving definition informed by workers.... #CAFutureofWork

[Alex Epps @alex_epps]

What makes a #job a good job? Living wage + benefits (health, wellness, vision, retirement savings, sick leave, upskilling, employer contribution). - @NoahSBernstein @QualityJobsFund #CAFutureofWork
