    Wards 7 (down 7.3%) and 8 (down 4.4%).

    Increase in Percentage of People with College DegreesThe Districts population over the age of25 with at least a college degree increased from 39% to 50%.

    Homicides Down Significantly: Homicides have declined in the past decade from in 242 in 2000 to anew 50-year low of 108 in 2011.

    Pre-Kindergarten Enrollment: In 2011, the District ranked #1 in the U.S. in Pre-kindergarten enrollment,with more than 9,500 3-and-4 year olds enrolled in school-based, pre-kindergarten programs (up from

    4,500 in 2000).

    School Modernization: 12 full school modernizations have been completed since 2007, 5 more arecurrently underway and others are in the pipeline.

    Growth of Charter Schools: The percentage of D.C. public school students attending charter schoolsincreased from 10.8% in 2001 to nearly 40% in 2011.

    New Housing: Almost twice as many new residential units were built from 2001-2011 than in the previous20 years. Downtown/Mt. Vernon Square, Shaw/Logan Circle, Columbia Heights, Near Northeast, Near

    Southeast/Navy Yard all saw significant increases in new housing.

    Increases in Development and Growth: Penn Quarter, NoMA, U Street, Capital Riverfront andColumbia Heights are among the neighborhoods that experienced the most development.

    From Control Board to Balanced Budgets/A+ Rating: Due to recurring unbalanced budgets andincreasing deficits, a Control Board, established by the U.S. Congress, oversaw the finances of the District

    from 1995-2001. The Board had the power to override decisions by local elected officials. Today, the District

    now oversees its own finances, has just received notice of its fifteenth consecutive balanced budget, and

    has an A+ rating from Standard and Poors.

    Yet We Need to Address Some Critical Challenges that Persist to Become One City

    Unemployment: As of December 2011, Wards 2 and 3 have the lowest unemployment rates (5.0%and 2.6% respectively). Wards 7 and 8 have the highest (16.7% and 24.8% respectively). The overall

    unemployment in the District stands at 10.4%.

    High School Graduation Rates: For the latest data available (2009), the high school graduation rate inthe District was approximately 51.6%.

    Illiteracy: Approximately 19% of District adults are functionally illiterate.HIV/AIDS: The District has an infection rate of 3.2% (for adults and adolescents), far higher than the

    national rate although comparable to U.S. cities of the same size.

    Disparities in Per Capita Income: DC has wide disparities of per capita income more than $60,000 peryear in Wards 2 and 3, and under $20,000 per year in Wards 7 and 8.

    Children Living in Poverty: In 2010, Wards 7 and 8 had the highest percentage (29.3% and 35.5%,respectively) of children under age five living in families at or below 200 percent of the federal poverty

    level; Wards 3 and 4 had the lowest percentages, at 2.1 percent and 11.9 percent respectively.

    Obesity Rates: As of 2007, Wards 2 and 3 had the lowest adult obesity rates (12.5% and 11.7% respectively)while Wards 7 and 8 had the highest (39.9% and 41.9% respectively)

    Budget Challenges: An uncertain economy and the specter of significant federal budget cuts havecreated a challenging and unpredictable budget climate. The District heads into FY13 facing potential

    budget cuts, and over the longer term, two of the biggest budget areas (Medicaid and health care) are

    growing far faster than the rate of inflation.

    So, What Does One City Mean?

    One City means that by choosing to live in the District of Columbia, we share the same civic destiny.

    We share a yearning to live in a progressive, prosperous, equitable, inclusive city. We choose to live

    here not because we fear difference; we choose to live here because we value it because we know

    that living in a vibrant, multicultural city makes us better people, thereby creating a better city.

    One City is an aspiration, a commitment to working towards Dr. Martin Luther Kings elusive

    Beloved Community where no one group is favored over another, where everyone has a fair

    chance to succeed, where no one pays more or less than their fair share, where everyone moves

    forward together, and where everyone makes progress.

    One City means a place where every resident:

    Participates in a diverse, thriving economy with equality of opportunityLives in a safe neighborhood free from crimeAccesses quality public or public charter schools no matter what neighborhood he or she lives inEnjoys a high quality of life that includes access to quality healthcare, recreation, transportation, and retail

    choices in every ward of the city

    Finds affordable housing options throughout the city in ways that advance the racial and economicdiversity we cherish

    Receives a solid return on investment and high-quality customer service from their governmentLives in the most environmentally sound, sustainable city in the worldHas a voice that counts including a vote in Congress

    Competitive Advantages

    The District is part of a region that has enjoyed steady growth in jobs and has been a bright spot in a nationcoming out of a major recession. The District serves as the regions hub attracting top talent, new residents,and businesses because of our emerging status as a national model for investing in livable, walkable, transit-rich neighborhoods. Our competitive advantages include:

    Regional Magnet: D.C. has access to the greatest number of potential employees in the region (andoffers the most choices in getting there walk , bike, train, highway, subway and bus, with streetcars tocome). D.C. employers can attract workers from throughout the region to this central location.

    High Levels of Education:The Washington region has the best educated population in the nation, andthe District itself is among the top 10 cities for new college graduates.

    Quality of Life: The District has great business amenities and high quality of life. For those that locate inthe District, proximity to the federal government, access to public transportation, a growing walk and bikeculture, the citys world class restaurants, entertainment, cultural and performing arts amenities, schoolchoice and a lower carbon foot print are all advantages.

    Center of Innovation: With 100,000 college and university students, more than a dozen universities andseveral hundred government and private-sector research institutions, D.C. hosts an increasingly active base

    of innovators and entrepreneurs.

    A Haven for New Entrepreneurs:The District has a burgeoning technology and entrepreneurial sector.A Growing Technology Base:Tech companies, including a growing number of start-ups, are changing

    D.C.s traditional business profile (there are now approximately 2,000). As these firms (e.g., LivingSocial)take root in D.C., there is a snowball effect in making the city increasingly more attractive to talent.

    Targeted Incentives: Through programs like D.C. Tech Incentives and the Supermarket Tax Exemption,the District is attracting employers in prioritized sectors.

    A Large and Stable Base of Employment:Overall, through the combination of a strong federalpresence and other large existing sectors, we have a broad base of skilled and entry level jobs that payreasonable wages.

    Competitive Disadvantages

    High Business Costs: The cost of doing business is higher in D.C. than in the suburbs because of higherincome, property taxes, and other regulations.

    High Rent: D.C.s office rents are higher partially due to market forces and tax rates (D.C.s tax rate is 30%-85% higher, and D.C.s market values are 20%-50% higher).

    Unaffordability of Housing:With growing demand for housing at every level in the city, prices havebegun to climb again.

    Public Schools: The public school system is seen as a disadvantage, and improving the educationalattainment of District residents remains an ongoing challenge.

    Late Start in Attracting Industries: For many desirable sectors of the regional economy, ourneighboring jurisdictions have a big head start in creating industry clusters, such as those around bio-tech,telecommunications, defense, and many others that have virtually no presence in the District today.

    Many local CEOs have historically chosen to live in the wealthy suburban neighborhoods of the region,and have selected corporate locations convenient to their residents; however, this is beginning to changeand many of the CEOs of new companies in the region are calling D.C. home.

    Workplace Skills- Effective workers can productively utilize:

    Resources: They know how to allocate time, money, materials, space, and staff.Interpersonal Skills: They can work on teams, teach others, serve customers, lead, negotiate, and work

    well with people from culturally diverse backgrounds.

    Information Literacy:They can acquire and evaluate data, organize and maintain files, interpret andcommunicate, and use computers to process information.

    Systems:They understand social, organizational, and technological systems; they can monitor and correctperformance; and they can design or improve systems.

    Technology: They can select equipment and tools, apply technology to specific tasks, and maintain andtroubleshoot equipment.

    Global Awareness: They can understand other perspectives and cultures.Self Direction:They can demonstrate independence.Foundation Competencies: Competent workers need:

    Basic Skills: Reading, writing, arithmetic, and mathematics, speaking and listeningThinking Skills: The ability to learn, reason, think creatively, make decisions, and solve problemsPersonal Qualities: Individual responsibility, self-esteem, self-management, sociability, and integrityInformation, Media, and Technology Skills:They can use technology and digital media strategicallyand capablyCareer and Workforce System in the Schools:

    With a vision for career-ready students, we need to consider how our schools can work to promote workforce

    skills and to target activities that will move the needle in preparing students to be ready for the careers of

    the future.

    The District, like many jurisdictions, can do more to incorporate work-based learning into its educational

    system. Currently, there is limited integration of employment and occupational skills into the Districts high

    school and post-secondary curricula. There are wide discrepancies in the quality of programs focused on

    workforce training within the Districts school system regarding the participation of businesses, levels of

    commitment to making the necessary changes, and relevance to how the labor market is changing.

    An ideal career-preparation system would offer a fully-integrated, comprehensive, system of work-based

    learning that intensifies as a student moves up through higher grade levels beginning with the most basic of

    experiences such as career-day in the school to early work experiences such as internships, summer and part-

    time jobs, to workplace mentors and opportunities to learn hard and soft skills.

    Among thepromising practices to considerfor increasing the responsiveness of schools to the economyof tomorrow are:

    Placing additional emphasis on developing skills such as critical thinking, insight, and analysis capabilities;Integrating new-media literacy into education programs;Including experiential learning that emphasizes soft skillssuch as the ability to collaborate, work in

    groups, read social cues, and respond adaptively;

    Broadening those involved in student learning to include employers and expanding career paths that movebeyond teens and young adults through to adulthood; and,

    Integrating student learning across subject areas in ways that allow them to develop skills and knowledgein a range of subjects.

    The Bottom Line for Creating One City: Graduating students in the District must acquire

    the essential skills to succeed in the workplace of tomorrow.

    The Districts Workforce Development Landscape

    As the list of agencies below indicates, the District currently has a range of funding streams and governmentprograms designed to support the education, training, and placement of its residents.

    Department of Disability Services (DDS)

    Department of Employment Services (DOES)

    Department of Human Services (DHS)

    Department of Mental Health (DMH)

    Department of Youth and Rehabilitation Services (DYRS)

    Office on Latino Affairs (OLA)

    Deputy Mayors Office for Planning and Economic

    Development (DMPED)

    D.C. Office on Aging (DCOA)

    D.C. Public Library (DCPL)

    Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE)

    In order to significantly improve the coordination of and outcomes related to the wide range of agenciesand programs delivering workforce training and job seekers services in the District, the Mayor recently

    reconstituted the Workforce Investment Council (WIC).

    Promising Practices for Increasing the Skills of D.C. ResidentsThe Council has reviewed best practices in other state programs and suggests the following approach for

    the District:

    Use data about job demand to provide a better match between training investments and theneeds of job seekers thereby creating better outcomes for employers and prospective applicants.

    Tailor job training to specific industries to equip residents with the skills needed in a particularoccupation or set of occupations that are in demand in our labor market.

    Combine adult basic education with occupational skills instruction so that job seekers increasetheir literacy and numeracy at the same time they develop the skills in demand in our economy.

    Provide career pathways from entry level jobs to higher-paid positions through a combination ofcommunity-based educational offerings, post-secondary education, and on-the-job training.

    Integrate academic and non-academic support services more effectively so that job seekers canget access to support services, such as transportation, day care, tutoring, etc., at the same time they areconnected to training or a job.

    Provide longer-term post job-placement support servicesthrough peer support groups, mentoring,and case management to facilitate job retention.

    Goals and Outcome Measures

    In the District, every resident who wants to earn a decent living should have the skills and means to do so,

    and every business should be able to find and grow the talent it needs to be successful. To achieve this goal,we need to ensure we have quality educational and vocational programs that prepare residents for the jobsavailable in our economy, we need to have strong networks that connect residents to those jobs, and servicesavailable that support working residents.

    The Bottom Line for Creating One City: Increase the number of District residents who

    overcome educational and skill barriers to become employable and the number of District

    businesses that use our workforce development system to find qualified employees.
