Good Jobs First in association with Berrett-Koehler Publishers

Good Jobs First is a non-profit, non-partisan resource center promoting accountability in the $70+ billion spent each year by states and cities in economic development subsidies. Since 1998, we have set dozens of research precedents and provided research, training, testimony, and technical assistance to hundreds of grassroots groups, public officials, journalists, and small business groups. Good Jobs First is home to Subsidy Tracker, the first national database of company-specific subsidy awards--from federal, state, and local governments--now capturing more than 500,000 awards, 740 programs, and $250 billion. We are also home to Violation Tracker, the first national database on corporate misconduct. In 2015, Good Jobs First was honored by State Tax Notes magazine for our leadership role in winning Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 77 on Tax Abatement Disclosures. Now in effect, Statement No. 77 is the first government-budgeting rule to require the reporting of economic-development tax expenditures.
