Amanda Janoo on Jobs

 

 


Assisted on inequality reduction, equity and diversification

Over the course of her U.N. career, Janoo assisted governments and communities with defining socioeconomic goals. "It was things like employment generation, inequality reduction, more equity and diversification and resilience. Some of that passion was also supporting countries to break out of colonial trading patterns, where they were stuck in really low value-added, like agricultural or minerals, and help them to make more of their own things," said Janoo.

$25 an hour would be a living wage in Vermont

Q: What do you think Vermont's minimum wage should be? It is currently $14.42 an hour.

Amanda Janoo: I believe the recent estimates are $25 an hour is a living wage in Vermont.

Aly Richards: I would want to build a coalition of folks who understand this the best and understand what that target is, but we have to have to make progress. Look at the gap between what it is now and a livable wage. Way too big.
