Gates Foundation National Report ARRIBA Featured October 20, 2009 Report Released by Workforce Strategy Center El Paso, TX October 22, 2009 – Project ARRIBA is one of 14 programs from across the country featured in a new national report coming out from the Workforce Strategy Center (WSC). With unemployment rates hovering near their highest levels in a quarter century and many traditional manufacturing jobs disappearing, there is growing concern that when the current recession ends, the United States may undergo a so-called “jobless recovery.” This means that despite growth in other segments of the economy, such as GDP and personal incomes, the ability to match the unemployed with gainful employment will remain flat. |
