The San Diego Workforce Partnership (SDWP), in collaboration with the San Diego Policy & Innovation Center (PIC), has launched the San Diego Workforce Needs & Assets Map — a free, interactive tool that identifies where workforce opportunities are limited and where resources exist to close the gap.
The map highlights community needs across income, education, housing, health, and more, while pinpointing local assets such as SDWP career centers, schools, libraries, and transit routes. Findings reveal that one in four families live in high-need areas, and three in 10 are economically vulnerable. Job hubs cluster along coastal and major highway corridors, forcing many residents to commute long distances for work.
“This tool turns complex data into a clear picture of where families face the steepest barriers and how we can partner with employers, colleges, and local leaders to meet them with real solutions,” said SDWP CEO Rachel Bereza.
