AdvantAGE LA
AdvantAGE LA: A Blueprint for Employing, Retaining, and Advancing Older Workers Across LAIn an era characterized by rapid change and evolving job markets, the marginalization of Older Workers frequently sidelines individuals who possess invaluable experience and expertise. With a shrinking pool of skilled workers, businesses cannot afford to overlook the wealth of skills older employees offer.
AdvantAGE LA offers actionable recommendations for employers to capitalize on these opportunities, facilitating upskilling, reskilling, and the exploration of new career pathways for employees of all ages. By investing in Older Workers’ continued growth and development, businesses can retain valuable institutional knowledge and expertise while fostering a culture of lifelong learning for employees of all ages.
AdvantAGE LA also provides recommendations for municipalities, service providers, community-based organizations, and education and training providers needed to support Older Workers. By fostering age-inclusive workplaces and investing in the growth and development of employees across all stages of their careers, we can unlock the full potential of our workforce.
Older Adults already represent a significant part of the regional labor force, having outpaced the City’s general population over the past decade. They are working later into retirement, driven by a combination of inflation, uncertainties around economic safety net programs, and an intrinsic desire to remain involved in the workforce. These workers are highly competent and able to meet the demands of modern work.

L.A. Performance Partnership Pilot (LAP3)
Nearly one out of six young people, ages 18-24, in the City and County of Los Angeles are out of school and out of work. This statistic translates into over 170,000 young people in the county, which 66,400 live in the City of Los Angeles, who will face future economic challenges, unless they are reconnected to educational and employment opportunities. The Los Angeles Performance Partnership Pilot means providing a second chance for those young adults who dropped out of high school; an employment and career start for those not in the workforce; access to housing, health and social resources and services to those in need.
The Performance Partnership Pilot Strategic Plan provides the most current data on the region’s “Opportunity Youth” population. It highlights current efforts to build a better system of care, and most importantly provides recommendations to our elected public bodies and to our philanthropic partners on action steps that would lower the disconnection rate from one out of six to a much lower ratio.

A Portrait of Los Angeles County
Measure of America, a project of the Social Science Research Council, released a comprehensive report that measures well-being across race, place, and gender in LA County. Using the American Human Development (HD) Index — a standardized metric created by Measure of America that combines health, education, and earnings data — Portrait of LAC examines 106 cities and unincorporated areas in LA County as well as thirty-five community plan areas within the City of Los Angeles.
The data is further broken down by race and ethnicity and by gender to reveal critical gaps and areas for improvement. The report, developed in collaboration with LA County departments and the Southern California Grantmakers, will help policymakers, businesses, philanthropists, and advocates identify areas of need and tailor interventions accordingly, building the capabilities people need to seize opportunities and live up to their full potential.
For this report, a ranked index has been calculated for 106 cities and unincorporated areas in LA County as well as the thirty-five community plan areas within the City of Los Angeles; for major racial and ethnic groups; for women and men; and for US- and foreign-born LA County residents
