What We Do

Our True North Goal
Despite significant growth in academic achievement, the current structure of Dallas County’s economy supports living wage attainment for only one-in-four residents between the ages of 25 and 34. White residents are currently three times more likely than their Black and Hispanic neighbors to have the access, resources and supports needed to be employed at a living wage.
Our true north goal is that by 2040 at least half of all 25-34 year old residents, irrespective of race, will be provided the opportunity to earn a living wage.

Equitably Doubling Living Wage Attainment by 2040
