Established in 2009, the Jobs First Coalition (JFC) works to make the creation and retention of family-supporting jobs the top priority of policymakers and community leaders in Wisconsin. Economic Development has been and remains one of the key public policy issues in Wisconsin, and the Jobs First Coalition uses internet-based technologies, the media, and the mail to effectively communicate its message and organize supporters of its public policy objectives. As an advocacy organization, JFC regularly monitors legislative and regulatory activities in Wisconsin and takes positions on a variety of public policy matters. As part of these advocacy efforts, JFC provides information to the general public and policymakers on issues and policies that directly impact their lives.
