San Diego surpasses Inclusive Growth goal for quality jobs, and why the work isn’t over yet
On August 14, EDC held its second Inclusive Growth Roundtable, focusing on progress toward the 2030 small business jobs goal.

Continued regional collaboration is needed to support inclusive economic growth.
