Good Jobs First

Good Jobs First is a national policy resource center for grassroots groups and public officials, promoting corporate and government accountability in economic development and smart growth for working families. We provide timely, accurate information on best practices in state and local job subsidies, and on the many ties between smart growth and good jobs. Good Jobs First works with a very broad spectrum of organizations, providing research, training, communications and consulting assistance. We track corporate giveaways through Subsidy Tracker; lost government revenue due to tax abatement programs through Tax Break Tracker; corporate misconduct at Violation Tracker; federal pandemic stimulus funds at COVID Stimulus Watch.
