The Foundation Center and IssueLab joined together to interview six nonprofit and foundation leaders working on the urgent issue of job creation.
Whether you interpret the jobs report that was released Friday by the Labor Department as promising or disappointing, the fact remains that the country is still mired in a joblessness crisis, with an unemployment rate of close to 9 percent. Amidst the talk of how the job market is faring in the business community, nonprofits in the U.S. are quietly creating jobs by cultivating entrepreneurship, ensuring that new jobs are both environmentally sound and pay a living wage, testing (and proving) the viability of worker-owned businesses, and advocating for the necessity of subsidized employment programs.
Learn more about the unique perspectives offered by these nonprofit leaders and what they think is missing from the national discourse.
