With reference to the economy, overwhelmingly the most critical issue facing families is basic employment – finding and keeping a job during a time when cuts and layoffs seem abundant.
To this end and in line with the recent economic forum hosted by President Obama, I am convening the Mayor’s Jobs Forum to facilitate a...n open discussion and exchange of ideas on how we can work together and better leverage our strengths in creating job opportunities locally. This summit will include presentations and perspectives from local stakeholders and is open to the public.
Free and open to the public.
We're focusing on creating jobs and boosting the economy of Memphis
