Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, Don Graves, Dr Laura Tyson and Monica Lozano discuss job creation on a panel at the 2011 Conference of Mayors in Los Angeles
I joined Monica Lozano, CEO of impreMedia and a fellow Jobs Council Member, and Executive Director of the Jobs Council Don Graves yesterday in Los Angeles to meet with mayors from across the country to discuss job creation in their local communities and get feedback from them on what’s working and what’s not.
We had a frank and productive discussion about some of the things that the private sector and government can do right now to help stimulate job creation – ranging from investment in infrastructure, to improving workforce training to meet the skill requirements of local industries, to retrofitting commercial buildings to increase energy efficiency. We talked about the value of public-private partnerships and about how Mayors can use their convening power to bring businesses, workers, and other community leaders together to spur action in these vital areas.
