This report highlights the need for targeted services and programs for job seekers, particularly those with disabilities, returning citizens, and other underrepresented populations. It explores different sectors, including health care, retail, hospitality, manufacturing, and transportation, and examines each sector's job opportunities and training programs. The report identifies inaccessibility to transportation, postsecondary education, and training as challenges impeding job seekers and argues for increased coordination and data sharing between workforce development systems and the city.
