Give more DC residenst district jobs and provide them training; stop giving waivers to people that don't live in the district.
Allow more DC residents to obtain jobs in the district. Don't make the ranking factors so extreme that people with little college experience can't reach the goal. Provide them training if necessary and stop and/or reduce hiring citizens that don't leave in the district. Just because people may not have a college degree doesn't mean they can't do the job.

I agree. Some cities allow that for every year of experience, that can equate to a year of college. If DC does this, they need to let folks know. Also, my clients without GED but have experience should be allowed to work... at least as a laborer. And one other thing, why aren't more DC residens hired? especially the ones with families that go back two and three generations? I see alll the Latinos hired an hardly any Black folks. Why? And, no, this is NOT a racist statement. It needs to be discussed and resolved.
