Webinar Series

More than half of the nation’s 134 million employees work for firms with fewer than 100 employees. Research shows these workers are less likely to be in Good Jobs compared to workers employed by larger firms, and represent a significant share of low-wage workers.

In partnership with the Department of Commerce, Reimagine Main Street, a project of Public Private Strategies Institute, has developed a webinar series to ensure that small and medium sized employers are aware of the opportunities and strategies that exist to provide “Good Jobs” for their workforce. This series will include conversations with, and resources from, government partners, non-profit organizations, and national capital and technical assistance providers to increase awareness of “Good Jobs'' strategies and tools to better inform your business.

Through this webinar series we plan to engage small and medium sized employers in order to inform, design, and test targeted interventions that can meet their needs at scale. This project seeks measurable long-term improvement in job quality for low-wage workers employed by small employers.

About This Partnership

Earlier this year, Reimagine Main Street launched a project to improve job quality with support from The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Reimagine Main Street’s previous research on Good Jobs and small employers found that job quality is a significant driver of business performance. As a result, efforts to advance good jobs should accelerate growth and increase the profitability of small businesses, create incentives for already strong small companies to improve job quality, and stimulate innovations across markets and policy to make affordable benefits available at scale. This partnership between Reimagine Main Street and the Department of Commerce builds on the insights from that work.
