Individuals that work full-time should achieve a measure of stability. The workforce board is committed to reducing poverty among our working people. We are committed to building career pathways what will support our people in achieving economic independence. We will foster economic inclusivity by investing in people with unrealized potential including youth and individuals with barriers to employment.
“Hard work is a core value in Nebraska. Our state boasts one of the lowest unemployment rates in the country and one of the highest rates of parents participating in the workforce. But our economy has left too many hard-working Nebraskans behind, risking family stability.” – Rebecca Gould, Nebraska Appleseed.
