In 2008, the Annie E. Casey Foundation reports that just over a quarter of children (27%) nationwide were living in families where no parent had full-time employment all year round. In Virginia, that figure was 23%.
What can we do to support more full-time income opportunities on an annual basis for parents in our community?
What programs can we develop that serve this need?
Is having good skills enough? How can we create more good jobs in the greater Fredericksburg area?
