JOBS NOW Coalition

Jobs Now Coalition is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Saint Paul, Minnesota. We rally together a diverse and influential coalition of more than 100 member organizations—from unions to community service organizations to job training programs.

Our mission is to help build Minnesota communities where everyone who is able and willing to work can work, where jobs pay a family-supporting wage, and where work of every kind is respected and valued. Through research and direct-to-the public economic literacy services—such as our user-friendly online Family Wage & Budget Calculator—we help families, individuals, businesses, nonprofits, and government understand how good jobs and family-supporting wages can expand prosperity and help communities grow toward stronger local and regional economies.

JOBS NOW never loses sight of the big picture: Family-supporting jobs are also consumer-generating jobs that expand consumer demand and thereby expand commerce, thus supporting stable economic growth.
