John Kitzhaber: Oregon Business Plan: create jobs & income; reduce poverty

This is the legislative session to ask and answer the tough questions about what it will take to deliver:

How do we ensure more of the jobs created in Oregon are living wage jobs?
And how do we get more of those jobs in rural communities?
What will it take to put people in poverty on a path to living wage jobs?
How can the state help to eliminate barriers to growth and success for our homegrown small businesses?
How do we better align our fragmented workforce training programs to deliver better results for more Oregonians and better meet the needs of expanding businesses?

The Oregon Business Plan, which has guided our work over the past two years, is built on three pillars: creating 25,000 jobs per year through 2020; raising Oregon's personal income levels above the national average by 2020; and reducing Oregon's poverty rate to 10% by 2020. These 3 pillars recognize that private sector job creation is the foundation of an enduring prosperity in every corner of our state. Source: 2013 State of the State Address to Ore.
