MASSACHUSETTS – Public sector jobs are the best way to rebuild Massachusetts’ middle class, says a new report by Demos, a progressive policy and research think tank that fights for racial and economic equity.
Generations of black women have learned to be solution-oriented and resourceful, often ‘making a way out of no way,’ and their political participation is part of a history of survival.
Public-sector jobs in Massachusetts are more likely than private-sector jobs to be good jobs that provide a family-supporting income and wealth-building benefits. They need to be preserved.
