Transcript of 2013–14 RESULTS BOARD MEMBERS 564 Annual Report 2014.pdfLouise Yelin & Robert Friedman Jonathan...
Despite its high cost of living and an occasional street protest, people are moving to San Francisco in growing numbers.
The City by the Bay grew during the last U.S. recession. And population and job growth have accelerated since the economic recovery began in 2010, the latest government data shows. The city added 15,000 new residents between 2007 and 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, even as the financial crisis was shredding home prices. Once the U.S. economy began growing again between 2010 and 2012, San Francisco added another 20,000 residents and is now home to 825,000 people. One draw may be the live-and-let-live attitude that permeates the city’s culturally-diverse neighborhoods. But booming job growth hasn’t hurt.
The city that fiscal conservatives often deride for its relatively generous social-service spending and high minimum wage has been a model of job creation since the recession ended in 2009. San Francisco added 26,700 jobs last year, according to the city’s own economvic statistics.About 8,000 were tech jobs. Some of them came with the help of a payroll tax cut, known colloquially as the Twitter tax break, that is breathing new life into a long-blighted six-block stretch of Market Street here.
Seventeen businesses moved into the Central Market and Tenderloin Payroll Tax Exclusion zone since it was created in 2011. Fourteen of them advantage of the tax break, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce says.
San Francisco saw its unemployment rate fall from 8.3% to 5.2% during the two years ended last May, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As of December 2013, the rate had dropped further to 4.6%, data from the California Employment Development Department shows. That’s well below both the 8.3% rate for the entire state and the U.S. national rate of 6.6%. Governed somewhere on a continuum between socialism and free-market capitalism, San Francisco is booming.
It’s now the third-fastest growing county in California, and the only two counties growing faster lay to its immediate south, in an area otherwise known as Silicon Valley. San Francisco workers in tech occupations saw their average salary rise to $100,000 as of May 2012, as more young engineers, product designers and technical sales people flock to the city for its restaurants, night life, mild weather and views of the bay and ocean. Those affluent workers can afford the new rents that many existing residents, including many immigrants from Mexico and Central America, cannot.
As of July 2012, San Francisco was almost half white, one-third Asian and about one-fifth Hispanic or Latino, while African-Americans comprised 6% of the city’s population.
All these numbers help explain why some San Francisco residents were protesting in the street here last month over the rising number of commuter buses for tech workers, now the most visible sign of the city’s class divide.
Scores of others expressed their opinions on the matter during a three-hour public meeting on the buses.
six months—like Ross and 4.4 million others, the prospects are especially daunting. The longer you’re out of work the less likely prospective employers will even take a look at you. That goes double if you’re older. A Government Accountability Office report last year found “employer reluctance to hire older workers as a key challenge” to reducing unemployment. George Ross is no longer an official member of the labor force. Out of work for the past two years, he didn’t figure in the government’s employment numbers on Friday. He’s a “marginally attached” worker, although he doesn’t see himself that way. “I feel like I’ve gone into retirement, involuntarily,” said Ross, an information technology specialist who lives in Livermore and has been unemployed since 2010. “But the more you’re out of the market, the harder it gets.” Ross, 60, is among the 12.2 million Americans classified as “not in the labor force” by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which compiles the monthly reports. Why? Because if they have been looking for a job for more than a year but not in the past four weeks—they’re considered “discouraged”—they just don’t feel they can find a job. Or they’re “marginally attached,” those like Ross, who had to stop looking for other reasons, like family responsibilities. Or they’re working fewer than 35 hours a week - their employer cut their hours, it’s the best they can find - which means they’re “part time for economic reasons” or “involuntary part time.” None of them is counted, but if you added the 2.3 million “discouraged” and “marginally attached” to the 11.7 million officially unemployed, you’d have an unemployment rate closer to 9 percent - not the 7.5 percent reported Friday. Add in the reluctant part-timers (7.2 million) and the rate jumps to 13.9 percent. As Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke remarked in December on the extent of American joblessness, “a waste of human and economic potential.” This recession, the worst in 70 years, has taken longer to dig out of than previous, milder ones, and the recovery appears to be taking a different shape. Employment numbers are 10 million below what they should be by now, say economists. Economic growth bears little relation to the highs reached by the stock market. Employers are finding they make more money with fewer workers and permanent part-time workers. This rising tide is not lifting all boats. “It’s becoming characteristic of this recovery, and it’s disturbing,” said UC Berkeley labor economist Harley Shaiken. “It raises the specter of what is a problem today is the new

80% of JVS’s EXCEL participants climbed from
welfare to an average annual salary of $40k within
six months of completing their internships with UCSF.
Within six weeks of completing our new health
worker training, 76% of participants found work in local clinics and other
organizations.

TOM’S STORY
OUR YEAR ON TWITTER
SNAPSHOTS OF SUCCESS
I was spending all my time searching and applying for jobs online. The rest of my life was on hold, month after month. The process was mind numbing, baffling and downright humiliating.
Today, only 62.9% of Americans are in the labor force—the lowest level since the 1970s.1
62.9%
About half of JVS’s adult clients are long-term unemployed.
50%
97%
JVS clients report a 97% satisfaction rate with JVS’s workshops.
Compared to the short-term unemployed, long-term unemployed spend 75% more time looking for work each day, but are less than half as likely to land an interview.2
I hadn’t worked this hard to wind up on food stamps at age 61.
What else could I sell?
You may be wondering “We’re still talking about the recession?” Yes. For over 22,000 San Franciscans, the recession is still with us. I was one who had been out of work for more than two years—labeled with the devastating stigma of “long-term unemployed.” At my age, the situation was nearly catastrophic. I’m smart. I’m a “people” person, so why the struggle this time?
Workshops prepare today’s job seekers with training in LinkedIn, Google Drive, Excel and more.
I looked around my small apartment of thirty years. Rent was due.
Two years had passed since I was laid off. I never imagined I would burn through my savings.
I had worked steadily for nearly my entire life. I did administrative work for big organizations—Visa, Bechtel and the EPA. I was an excellent employee and finding work had never been difficult. But the recession, along with my advancing age, changed everything.
JVS’s “hand up” transformed my life. The help I received—computer classes, job search workshops, and 1:1 work with my employment specialist—was professional and of the highest quality. I began to move forward. I de-fossilized my resume with language that proved my relevance. I began to see every connection as an opportunity.
In just six to eight weeks, I had gone from no interviews to hustling to two to three interviews on some days; I even learned to interview on Skype. I couldn’t be more grateful for JVS and, particularly, for the no-nonsense employment specialist who trained me to meet the challenge of navigating 21st-century job hunting, and ultimately of survival.

The results were astounding.

JVS gave me the most valuable gift—
They wouldn’t have looked at me twice, if it weren’t for the edge I gained at JVS.
But JVS helped me to cross to safety. I have a newfound sense of resilience and confidence in my future, for which no words can ever express enough thanks.
the skills I needed to find work, keep a roof over my head, and regain my dignity. My new job is with a dynamic political media production firm. I get to strengthen the infrastructure of their library, which is a great match for my skills and experience.
I’m so glad to be working again—and back to life! I’ve stopped mentally packing up my belongings and have been able to finish painting the walls of my apartment, a project I started in the prehistory of my layoff. Even so, some days I can’t seem to shake the fear of having come so close to homelessness.I wondered if I would ever work again.

JVS_2014_annual_report_PROOF_CORREX.indd 3 9/21/14 9:50 PM
Despite its high cost of living and an occasional street protest, people are moving to San Francisco in growing numbers.
The City by the Bay grew during the last U.S. recession. And population and job growth have accelerated since the economic recovery began in 2010, the latest government data shows. The city added 15,000 new residents between 2007 and 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, even as the financial crisis was shredding home prices. Once the U.S. economy began growing again between 2010 and 2012, San Francisco added another 20,000 residents and is now home to 825,000 people. One draw may be the live-and-let-live attitude that permeates the city’s culturally-diverse neighborhoods. But booming job growth hasn’t hurt.
The city that fiscal conservatives often deride for its relatively generous social-service spending and high minimum wage has been a model of job creation since the recession ended in 2009. San Francisco added 26,700 jobs last year, according to the city’s own economvic statistics.About 8,000 were tech jobs. Some of them came with the help of a payroll tax cut, known colloquially as the Twitter tax break, that is breathing new life into a long-blighted six-block stretch of Market Street here.
Seventeen businesses moved into the Central Market and Tenderloin Payroll Tax Exclusion zone since it was created in 2011. Fourteen of them advantage of the tax break, the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce says.
San Francisco saw its unemployment rate fall from 8.3% to 5.2% during the two years ended last May, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
As of December 2013, the rate had dropped further to 4.6%, data from the California Employment Development Department shows. That’s well below both the 8.3% rate for the entire state and the U.S. national rate of 6.6%. Governed somewhere on a continuum between socialism and free-market capitalism, San Francisco is booming.
It’s now the third-fastest growing county in California, and the only two counties growing faster lay to its immediate south, in an area otherwise known as Silicon Valley. San Francisco workers in tech occupations saw their average salary rise to $100,000 as of May 2012, as more young engineers, product designers and technical sales people flock to the city for its restaurants, night life, mild weather and views of the bay and ocean. Those affluent workers can afford the new rents that many existing residents, including many immigrants from Mexico and Central America, cannot.
As of July 2012, San Francisco was almost half white, one-third Asian and about one-fifth Hispanic or Latino, while African-Americans comprised 6% of the city’s population.
All these numbers help explain why some San Francisco residents were protesting in the street here last month over the rising number of commuter buses for tech workers, now the most visible sign of the city’s class divide.
Scores of others expressed their opinions on the matter during a three-hour public meeting on the buses.
six months—like Ross and 4.4 million others, the prospects are especially daunting. The longer you’re out of work the less likely prospective employers will even take a look at you. That goes double if you’re older. A Government Accountability Office report last year found “employer reluctance to hire older workers as a key challenge” to reducing unemployment. George Ross is no longer an official member of the labor force. Out of work for the past two years, he didn’t figure in the government’s employment numbers on Friday. He’s a “marginally attached” worker, although he doesn’t see himself that way. “I feel like I’ve gone into retirement, involuntarily,” said Ross, an information technology specialist who lives in Livermore and has been unemployed since 2010. “But the more you’re out of the market, the harder it gets.” Ross, 60, is among the 12.2 million Americans classified as “not in the labor force” by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which compiles the monthly reports. Why? Because if they have been looking for a job for more than a year but not in the past four weeks—they’re considered “discouraged”—they just don’t feel they can find a job. Or they’re “marginally attached,” those like Ross, who had to stop looking for other reasons, like family responsibilities. Or they’re working fewer than 35 hours a week - their employer cut their hours, it’s the best they can find - which means they’re “part time for economic reasons” or “involuntary part time.” None of them is counted, but if you added the 2.3 million “discouraged” and “marginally attached” to the 11.7 million officially unemployed, you’d have an unemployment rate closer to 9 percent - not the 7.5 percent reported Friday. Add in the reluctant part-timers (7.2 million) and the rate jumps to 13.9 percent. As Federal Reserve Board chairman Ben Bernanke remarked in December on the extent of American joblessness, “a waste of human and economic potential.” This recession, the worst in 70 years, has taken longer to dig out of than previous, milder ones, and the recovery appears to be taking a different shape. Employment numbers are 10 million below what they should be by now, say economists. Economic growth bears little relation to the highs reached by the stock market. Employers are finding they make more money with fewer workers and permanent part-time workers. This rising tide is not lifting all boats. “It’s becoming characteristic of this recovery, and it’s disturbing,” said UC Berkeley labor economist Harley Shaiken. “It raises the specter of what is a problem today is the new

WE SEE THE SIGNS EVERY MORNING—as we bus, drive, or Uber to work and our daily activities—signs of two very different cities. Though the recession is behind us, we know not everyone is sharing in our city’s prosperity.
A recent report from the Brookings Institution cites that the divide between the haves and the have-nots is greater here than in any other major U.S. city.1 Thankfully, JVS remains here—steady, strong, and passionate about closing this gap. We’re here because we know the difference strategy can make in a job search. We’re here because we know how to bring business, government and philanthropy together to create powerful job opportunities for our neighbors. We’re here because we’re inspired by our Jewish values—“tikkun olam”—to repair the world.
Repairing the world starts with our own city, and we’ve achieved great results in the past year. We’re proud to help people like Tom—someone who thought he’d never work again—get back to work and finally complete that paint job in his apartment. Thank you for standing with us, as we bring pride, dignity and transformation to the lives of thousands who are desperate for work.
