A coalition of more than two dozen business leaders from some of New York City's largest employers together are pledging to hire 100,000 Black, Latino, Asian and low-income workers over the next 10 years.
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said that the state is"confronting this injustice head on" and that the new initiative"will play an important role connecting underserved communities with career resources and access to New York's world-class educational institutions, helping ensure economic prosperity is a dream anyone can realize, no matter their ZIP code."
Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM and another co-chair, added that the jobs council"will create much-needed economic opportunities for New Yorkers in diverse and underserved communities." MORE: 'Heroes or hostages?': Communities of color bear the burden of essential work in coronavirus crisis
