A community that offers a skilled labor force, modern infra- structure, and a high quality of life can compete in the global market. Businesses evaluate communities, regions and states based on a num- ber of factors for both expanding their business and locating new facilities – whether headquar- ter, distribution or manufac- turing. First on the list is always "site" – is there a place I can locate my business? Second is typi- cally labor. A lack of an educated workforce can be a "deal" killer as it is no longer just about "low-skilled" labor, it is about high-skilled, trained, intelligent "talent". Lots of "low- skilled" jobs have been replaced by robotics to increase efficiencies of production and distribution, so the formally "low-skilled" worker now must possess technology knowledge. A low-skilled and minimally edu- cated workforce increases the eco- nomic disparity in a community con- tributing to inequality in earnings and wealth. Without a strong talent base in the community, wages for working people begin to stagnate, families struggle to make ends meet, and mar- ket demand falls. Economic prob- lems, in turn, exacerbate social prob- lems, such as crime, drug abuse, gangs, reliance on government assis- tance, and family break-ups. The most forward- thinking approach to solv- ing these problems and increase a communities competitiveness is to equip today's and tomorrow's citi- zens with the skills and attitudes for economic and civic success in an increasingly knowledge-based econo- my. There is a growing consensus that money spent wisely on education pays off not only for workers but also for com- munities and businesses. Educational attainment raises incomes and increases productivity, while failures in educating the work- force are associated with higher lev- els of crime and welfare dependency. Investing wisely in education generates real, quantifiable results for workers, businesses, and society. If people are tied to low-paying jobs and unable to acquire skills needed by employers, productivity grows more slowly. If businesses do not Audrey Taylor have a workforce that is appropri- ately educated, they will be less competitive with their overseas rivals. If citizens do not have what it takes to succeed in today's economy, they will feel threatened by economic change and are much more likely to recycle back and forth between unemploy- ment insurance, welfare, and poorly paid, insecure employment. Finally, the spreading number of low- paying jobs breaks a long- standing social contract under which most people work: "If I work hard, I will be able to keep my job, support my family, and enjoy a growing income." Quality education is a criti- cal tool for upholding this implicit contract.

The firm’s goal is to creatively position cities, counties and states to win new jobs and investment.
