| Increase the number and quality of jobs |
| |
| | "Jobs are being lost due to inability to grow and establish business. Too many tax issues and administrative roadblocks." |
| | "More jobs with purpose for youth" |
| | "We must create more jobs and opportunities. We must fight for great companies to move here." |
| | "The region has so much to offer, but the government seems to reject the most important concept. In order to support a million people, there have to be jobs. There needs to be creative thinking in attracting corporate headquarters. I want my children to stay & work in Tucson!"
|
| | "There are few high-paying jobs and professionally our move to Tucson has been very limiting for me." |
| | "It's really a shame - we often think about moving away from Tucson and our home just for increased job opportunities elsewhere. We love this city but feel like the city doesn't feel the same about us!" |
| | "Lack of opportunities for professionals in middle to upper middle professions" |
| | "I can't realistically look my 17 year in the eye and tell her the economic future here is bright. She's yet another smart one (Univ High School) likely to leave and not look back. It is unlikely that my kids will be able to find meainingful work in Tucson after graduating from college. This is a travesty." |
| | "We cannot keep our young people, our most precious asset, if we cannot provide them with financial opportunity." |
| | "We have an enormous brain drain from our University. There must be a business structure that keeps this talent here in our region." |
