JOTF
hosts public forums to highlight the variety of issues impacting Maryland’s
low-wage workforce. Past forums have explored economic development, the
minimum wage, workplace benefits, and ex-offender hiring. These events
range from large public forums featuring nationally respected policy leaders,
to intimate discussions geared towards practitioners, to education events
targeting employers.
JOTF’s forum series is made possible thanks
to the Open Society
Institute-Baltimore.
