Description
Across the country, critical industries including agriculture, healthcare, hospitality, construction, and retail are struggling with unprecedented labor shortages that threaten their ability to grow, compete, and serve their communities. Misalignment between workforce needs and immigration policy hinders local economies, stifles innovation, and imposes unsustainable burdens on small business owners. Public Private Strategies Institute (PPSI) was founded to bring together leaders of nonprofits, corporations, and small businesses to address pressing societal challenges. Small Business for America’s Future (SBAF)—a project of PPSI—is a national coalition of more than 200,000 business owners committed to advancing an economic framework that supports small businesses, their employees, and their communities. With Corporation support, SBAF will mobilize small business leaders to promote a national narrative linking federal immigration reform to small business success, advance legal workforce integration, and ensure the United States economy meets workforce demands.
