Mayor Newsom Announces New City Incentives to Keep People Employed Through Local Jobs Now! Program

Mayor Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Human Services Agency (HSA) Director Trent Rhorer announced new local incentives and private sector wage subsidies to continue a modified version of the highly successful Jobs NOW! program -- which has put more than 4,100 San Francisco parents back to work -- if Congress fails to extend stimulus funding for subsidized employment programs by September 30th. If Congress allows funding for Jobs NOW! and similar programs around the country to expire, nearly a quarter million low-income Americans will be at risk of unemployment come October 1st.
