The survey highlights the struggles of low-income New Yorkers in an economy where indications of recovery do not include the hiring of many unemployed workers. Job losses and reductions in hours and wages are particularly steep among low-income women and their households. Over 1 in 5 tow-income women are unemployed, about the same ratio as lowincome men. More than 1 in 3 lowincome women report they or someone in their households have lost a job and/or faced reductions in wages, work hours, or tips in the past year. Insecurity about future employment is high among all low-income working women, but mothers are feeling particularly insecure and have the strongest concerns about making ends meet Fifty-three percent of low-income working mothers report experiencing three or more hardships in...

New York's Congressman Jerrold Nadler introduced a bill (H.R. 2497) entitled the Transportation Jobs Corps Act that would create a careerladder grant program within the Federal Transit Administration to help existing workers retain jobs in the public transportation industry, while also recruiting and preparing young people for jobs in the transportation industry. Diversity and serving underrepresented segments of the population will be particular priorities for these grants. Given the poor state of much of America's transportation infrastructure, a transportation corps could furnish many jobs for disconnected youth while providing a safer, more efficient, environmentally sound and sustainable transportation. Over the last several years, the Community Service Society has conducted in-dep...
Official unemployment hit 10.6 percent in December, the highest rate in nearly 17 years. Even before the recession, research by the Community Service Society (CSS) found that the real jobless figures for African American and Latino New Yorkers - many of whom have given up looking for a job - are three or four times the official rates. CSS research also revealed that more than 200,000 young people in the city ages 16 to 24 were "disconnected," neither in school nor in the labor force. The great majority are black and Latino youth, a looming crisis for our communities of color. CSSs research found too few resources and a lack of coordination in the citys response to disconnected youth. The mayor proposed conducting a detailed assessment of all city, state, and federal funding for youth se...

In response to this problem, two of New York Cityfc congressmen, Charles Rangel and Jerrold Nadler, have introduced bills in the U.S. House of Representatives. Congressman Rangel has introduced RR 7066, legislation to create a federal tax credit for employors to hire disconnected youth. The bill is the direct result of CSSIs work with Congressman Rangel. "Community organizations such as the Community Service Society of New York, led by [David R Jones], have long championed the cause of disadvantaged youth," said Ranget "Their outstanding work has given me and my congressional colleagues a better understanding of the costs that this nation will bear if we fail to simply give these young men and women a helping hand. Congressman Nadler has introduced RR 7063, entitled the "Transportation...
The 2008 presidential race is off and running, with candidates already criss-crossing the country searching for money and votes. Previous election campaigns have been characterized by an almost complete lack of focus on an urban agenda, especially policies specifically of concern to Black Americans, the working poor, and urban poverty. In order to elicit candidates' views and possible plans on these issues, the Community Service Society, in conjunction with Local 32BJ of the Service Employees International Union (SEUT), is sponsoring a year long, bipartisan series of conversations with presidential candidates, entitled "Working Cities. [John Edwards] described some of his policy priorities aimed at confronting poverty: creating a million new section 8 federal housing vouchers, supporti...
