The Reimagining Job Quality Measurement report from the Families and Workers Fund calls for shifting beyond the traditional metric of job quantity to focus on whether jobs provide dignity, stability, and pathways for advancement. Developed in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, it offers bold, actionable recommendations for government, philanthropy, business, and nonprofits to better collect and use data that reflects workers’ real experiences and aspirations. By centering the health of the economy on the quality of work itself, the initiative underscores the importance of collective action in shaping an economy that truly serves people—an approach that resonates with Aspen CSG’s commitment to strengthening measurement, equity, and community well-being in rural and regional development.
