Mayor Villaraigosa will dedicate his second term - first and foremost - to helping lead Los Angeles out of this economic recession.  It will begin with training young adults and adults alike for the jobs of tomorrow.  

From summer youth jobs and sector-based training to creating living wage jobs through economic development, the Mayor will focus on putting people back to work.

Even though we set a record for new development in our first term bringing in $17 billion of new construction that created 140,000 well-paying jobs, this recession is calling on us to rethink economic development.   Mayor Villaraigosa will turn his business team into a jobs team to help entrepreneurs cut through the city’s bureaucracy.
