• What is SaveOurWorkforce?

  SaveOurWorkforce is a nonprofit organization powered by the YOUTH and THE 99% with the mission to save and rebuild the American workforce.

• Why is SaveOurWorkforce important?

  People are out of work and they’re hurting because there is no incentive for companies to keep jobs in America. Millions of Americans cannot find work and the people that have jobs are worried about being laid off. Yet while our middle class is disappearing many businesses are making record profits by outsourcing jobs to foreign countries. SaveOurWorkforce solves this problem as it allows us to easily monitor, encourage, and reward businesses that provide jobs to American families.

• What is SaveOurWorkforce about?

  SaveOurWorkforce tracks and reports the workforce size of all companies in America and we partner with businesses to help keep jobs in the United States.

• How does SaveOurWorkforce save American jobs?

  Our free website tool Before-You-Buy, VERIFY empowers everyone to easily direct their purchases towards companies that support the U.S. Workforce the most. Using this tool strongly encourages businesses to keep jobs here in America.

• Who runs SaveOurWorkforce?

  High School and College students, and THE 99% who have joined our cause to save and rebuild the U.S. Workforce at SaveOurWorkforce.org.

  The youth are working hard in school and then graduating into poverty because the middle class in America is disappearing. And a kid named Austin asked his school friends to help him fix this serious problem so we joined together and brainstormed a solution.

• How does scholarships work?

  Students earn scholarship points for actions they take to improve the U.S. workforce. For example, a student gets scholarship points for tracking and requesting a company to take their U.S. Workforce pledge. Scholarship points are then converted to dollars depending on our funding level.

• What do you hope to accomplish?

  We want the youth to be able to have good job opportunities after graduation for a bright future. We will accomplish this by supporting job growth in our communities for a strong middle class in America.

• How does SaveOurWorkforce benefit the workforce?

  We provide a voice to the American worker on our website. People can provide a "my job report" and let us know if their company laid them off or if they cannot find a job.

• How does SaveOurWorkforce benefit THE 99%?

  THE 99% represent the middle class and poor in this country. Without good jobs the middle class becomes poor and the poor get poorer. SaveOurWorkforce encourages companies to keep jobs in America which provides a brighter future for the 99%.

• How does SaveOurWorkforce benefit companies?

  More U.S. jobs is a WIN-WIN situation for both the company and their workforce. Strong employment keeps our middle class from disappearing and provides companies with more customers that have money to purchase their products.
