Issue Position: Jobs & Income Inequality

Issue Position

The COVID19 crisis has exacerbated our issues with unemployment and income inequality. We must be willing to invest in initiatives to head off the growing housing crisis, get Rhode Islanders back to work, and create a minimum wage that is a livable wage. We must expand vocational and professional training programs that meet the needs of growing industries, and offer debt free college solutions. People who work hard should be able to thrive in our state, and that includes local business owners. When people have more money to spend, communities flourish.
