About One City • One Hire
One City • One Hire is an employer-driven hiring initiative with the goal of putting District residents back to work. One City • One Hire is an innovative economic development strategy that serves as a catalyst to jump-start Mayor Gray's pledge to put all unemployed District residents -- in every Ward of the city -- back to work. While this initiative is not limited to District employers, if every business in the District of Columbia and Washington metropolitan area with a job opening hired just one unemployed District resident, the boost to the District and regional economy would be felt almost immediately.
