In the middle of the toughest economy we’ve faced in generations, too many hard-working Virginians have lost jobs, seen their hours or pay reduced, or been forced to clean out their savings just to make ends meet. Yet, just when we need them most, state services have been cut. Crumbling roads, growing school class sizes, fraying support for families, and other challenges jeopardize our ability to create good jobs and ensure a better future for the next generation.
We don’t have to accept this. We can get Virginians back on the job. And not just any job, but jobs that pay enough for families to thrive. Creating jobs in the Commonwealth — and keeping them here — will require that we make Virginia the best place to live, learn, work, and do business. To do that, we must:
- Pave the way for an economy that works (Chapter 1, page 5)
- Educate tomorrow’s workers today (Chapter 2, page 11)
- Ensure a healthy and productive workforce (Chapter 3, page 15)
- Create a 21st century revenue system for a 21st century economy (Chapter 4, page 19)
