NJISJ’s 2017 report, “Bridging the Two Americas,” made clear that many Newark residents were not benefiting the growing prosperity in the city.
The report found that Newark residents hold only 18 percent of all jobs in the city – highlighting the need to create programs that link local residents to jobs in the city.
Through collaboration with the mayor’s office, the city’s anchor institutions, and workforce and economic development partners, NJISJ helped design and develop the
“Newark 2020” initiative, which sought to connect 2,020 Newark residents to meaningful, full-time work in the city that pays a living wage by the year 2020. Launched in June 2017, the initiative has helped link employers to those seeking jobs throughout Newark.
