Keep Austin Working Doucment — original pdf
Keep Austin Working .” . Austin’s NYT’s UpShot thinks see the loss of around , idea right now right this is about taking While public health outcomes continue to be unclear as we test more people and see infection and death rates and predictions rise and fall, the economic picture is clearly dire. The Department of Labor has set the official unemployment rate at 4.4% nationally, but unemployment nationwide has risen to somewhere close to 13% and will continue to rise unemployment numbers are just as dire, as the city is expected to “ 261,000 jobs, or an unemployment rate of about 25% – levels last seen during the Great Depression Because the City of Austin has, understandably, paused many Commission meetings due to public health concerns, the Commissions I’m on (Economic Prosperity, D-8, and Ethics Review, D-2) have not been able to meet to talk through and make recommendations to Austin’s City Council. This is a running brainstorm of economic development, recovery and jobs programs that I think have merit and may be worth trying. You should know that, for me, this isn’t about having action and, in doing so, finding the right solution as the we go. It’s about challenges we’re facing right now as a city. The goal with these ideas is to spur opportunity , small business creation and sustainability Some of these are already being considered by Austin City Council and Travis County leadership, many of these ideas have been curated and refined based on discussions I’ve had one-off with fellow commissioners, other local nonprofit and business leaders, and constituents. These are not know if they will work, but fully-baked, I don’t know what public reception of them will be, I don’t unprecedented moments require unexpected solutions so I’m throwing this open-source list out there. If you’re on a City Commission, please feel free to take any of these and build recommendations around them. They’re in a public Google Doc for a reason. Whether you’re on a board or commission or not, if you have more ideas, please feel free to and I may add them to the list. We’re all in this together, y’all. We’re gonna get through it together, too. trying a whole bunch of ideas to mitigate all of the different, interconnected , economic security , job retention , job creation equality of financial relief. tweet at …
