A plan where LA THRIVES

Economic Mobility

The Problem

Talent is equally distributed across our city — but opportunity is not. Too many Angelenos are not afforded the skills or the chances they need to succeed. We need to fix our education system, grow good jobs, and make sure everyone can participate in LA's economy. 

The Solution

We have a clear opportunity to leverage technology and innovative programming to strengthen our education system, better train our working-age residents, and provide more economic opportunities. We can bring Hollywood back and attract new industries to significantly grow the number of good jobs in the region. Economic mobility is directly tied to making rent affordable, improving vibrancy, and building a city that works for everyone through innovation.

How we'll do it

Education

  • Break up LAUSD into smaller regions, each with its own Superintendent and board
  • Recruit more teachers and identify more spaces to enable smaller classrooms
  • Provide an AI tutor for every student
  • Enable more evidence-based learning
  • City-wide workshops to expose students to a range of career opportunities
  • Financial literacy training for every high school student
  • Career and educational counseling services for all high school students

Jobs & Workforce

  • Focus on affordability as the foundation of economic participation
  • Cut deals to bring Hollywood back to Hollywood
  • Roll out more apprenticeships and internships across the city
  • Create a green jobs training program
  • Organize and streamline all existing workforce development programs
  • Build career pipelines for needed local roles, including sanitation and law enforcement
  • Offer free transportation and car repair assistance based on area median income
