 Madam Magazine Secretary, how are you doing today? Justin, how are you? Good. Question for you. What was your first job? Well, my first job was waiting tables at a restaurant. Awesome. Did you think it was a good job? I thought there were good things about it. I made good friends. I got to work with good people. I learned a lot. I also saw how service employees are not always treated with the dignity that they deserve. You know, you could be treated one way as a just someone on the street, right? Perfect stranger. But once you strap on an apron and come up to someone's table, sometimes people see you really differently. And I also saw how people in the back of the house who were overwhelmingly Latino workers struggle even more than they should have to. Awesome. So what's your definition of a good job? Well, I think a good job should provide opportunity and security in a path to the middle class. A good job is the job like my mom got when I was six years old. She and my dad had both worked minimum wage jobs until my mom became an employee for Los Angeles County. And that was the job that gave us our path to a middle class life. And I'm really grateful for it.
