City Councilor John A. Michitson has a plan to address the growing inequality between high and low paying occupations and the “shrinking of middle tier jobs.”
His colleagues Tuesday night endorsing his call to schedule a Citizens Outreach Committee meeting to start by identifying and cataloging problems and available resources to help. The councilor said one way to help low wage earners is to provide on-the-job training and educational opportunities.
“Kick it off with a Citizen Outreach Committee hearing. Invite citizens, academia, all levels of government, industry, anybody that can help us,” he suggested.
