Regional Jobs Initiative :: Building a Strong Economy in Central California
Description
ABOUT THE RJI
The Fresno Regional Jobs Initiative (RJI) is a giant step for our region. The mission of the RJI is to develop a short and long-term comprehensive strategy aimed at creating 25,000 to 30,000 net new jobs within five years at an average salary of $29,500. The additional jobs would create an annual economic impact of over $885 million to our region.
The challenges facing our community are regional in nature and require collaboration between various government entities and private sector organizations to solve. Led by Fresno County Supervisor Susan Anderson, Clovis Mayor Lynne Ashbeck and Fresno Mayor Alan Autry, along with business, education, civic, and labor leaders, the ultimate objective of the RJI is to generate long-term, sustainable economic development in the Fresno Region by diversifying the industrial and economic base of the area to combat chronic, double-digit unemployment.
The RJI is based on the idea that regional economies are made up of a series of related industries, or clusters, that benefit one another. The RJI task forces are charged with identifying the existing and emerging industry clusters in which our region has a competitive advantage. Once the clusters are identified, each of the task forces will develop plans to expand those industries to achieve the job creation goal.
