The Executive Director of the Good Jobs First national policy resource center, Greg Leroy, appeared on the America’s Work Force Union Podcast and talked about where tax payer dollars go and how they are used for creating union jobs and funding union projects and deals. 

Leroy talked about how he has been arming the public with this information since the 1990s with books that he has written and the information placed on the Good Jobs First website. He then explained how the decrease in entrepreneurs has negatively impacted society making it difficult to create jobs. A lack of jobs equals understaffed projects and a lack of deals, he said. 

The Executive Director of Good Jobs First then mentioned the reasoning behind individual states keeping a tight lid on mega deals and their cost per job.
