As we honor the contributions of workers this Labor Day, it's crucial to also reflect on the quality of jobs being created. At OFN, we believe that small businesses are key to strong local economies, but we must also focus on ensuring that the jobs created offer fair wages, growth opportunities, and a sense of purpose. CDFIs work with business owners to elevate job quality and advance equity in our communities. Together, let's build an economy where every worker thrives. #LaborDay #GoodJobs #EconomicEquity #CDFIs
