TBL is a holistic way to measure success beyond financial performance alone as it seeks to gauge a corporation's level of commitment to?#corporate social responsibility (#CSR)?and its impact on the environment over time.

JobsFirstNYC's 2022 data brief, Reversing Nearly a Decade of Positive Trends: The Lingering Impact of the Pandemic on Young Adults Who are Out of School and Out of Work in New York City, co-authored with Community Service Society of New York, highlighted a troubling rise in the number of young adults between the ages of 16- to 24-year-old who were out of school and out of work due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic—over 138,000 in NYC alone. ?? However, the tide is turning in a positive direction. ?? The most recent data is pointing to a positive shift: the percentage of young adults in NYC who are out of school and out of work has decreased from 16% to 12%—the lowest rate on record. This mirrors a national trend, where the rate dropped from 12.1% to 10.9%. "According to the latest figures, the number of young adults in New York City categorized as out of school and out of work has decreased from 16% to 12%, the lowest rate observed to date." This positive shift is signaling increased workforce engagement. These improvements are vital, as staying connected to education or employment helps young people build skills, secure better-paying jobs, and achieve long-term economic stability. As Alex Powers, Associate Director at Measure of America, notes, “Connecting young people to education and employment generates significant personal, social, and economic benefits. Our research shows that those who remain engaged earn, on average, $38,400 more annually in their thirties compared to their peers who were disconnected from such opportunities.” Check out our blog by Allyson Bay for a deeper dive into the trends that we are watching. https://lnkd.in/e4HbHVBW. #JobsFirstNYC #NYCYouth #DataInsights #YouthEmployment #EconomicRecovery #Education #WorkforceDevelopment #CommunityServiceSociety #nyc
