Kwame beats workforce goals
Similar doubtful voices are telling other public institutions, including the Metropolitan Sewer District (MSD), that increasing the minority workforce goals is not possible. In December, MSD’s Board of Trustees voted against a policy that would have increased minority workforce requirements on contracts. The decision came after many construction companies and union leaders argued against the increase. ’s young adult unemployment rate of 32 percent is higher than the rate for African Americans statewide at 16 percent, according to Labor Bureau statistics. Policies causing youth unemployment (even unintentionally) lead to tougher roads for those youths who are most vulnerable, according to a study by the Employment Policies Institute. In the Hazelwood School District, young African Americans are being kept out of the job pool, the St. Louis NAACP claimed recently. The NAACP has urged the school board to change a policy that permits only hiring apprentices from certain federally-recommended apprenticeship programs. In this region, only three percent of participants in these programs are minorities, according to U.S. Labor statistics. Aside from workforce, 40 percent of the project’s contractors and subcontractors were minorities, and eight percent were women, which exceeded the city’s goal of 25 percent minority-owned business enterprises (MBEs) and 5 percent women-owned business enterprises (WBEs). The compliance office at St. Louis-Lambert International Airport is monitoring these numbers.Employment Agencies In St Louis - News
