Joe's Plan for Jobs

My jobs plan will grow Montgomery's local economy and will put people back to work with quality, sustainable jobs.

1. Job Creation

With some investment and infrastructure, downtown Montgomery has becoming an attractive destination for businesses and citizens, alike. 

"Business and industry follow investment, and if we invest in our community, jobs will follow."

Working with our city and county governments, our State government can position Montgomery to capitalize on Alabama's fasting growing industries: manufacturing, tourism, and healthcare.  But, we must first invest in Montgomery's infrastructure and public services to create a local economic environment where businesses will grow and thrive.

2. Re-employment

Our biggest challenge in this community is to put people back to work.  In January of 2010, Montgomery's unemployment rate was 11.3%, and, today, it remains higher than the national unemployment rate.  

We must, not only, create new jobs, we must create tax incentives for new and existing businesses to hire unemployed workers. 

"Businesses and workers alike will benefit from a fair tax system that rewards the hiring of qualified employees off the unemployment rolls."
