How many Tent City residents are employed?
The percentage varies with the TC4 population. Many of the residents are employed, either permanently or temporarily. Tent City residents will most likely be seen at the bus stop very early in the morning in order to be at Labor Ready by 5:30am to get day-labor jobs. Other residents are in educational programs to improve job skills. There are a few people with disabilities that prevent them from getting a job; many of those are on waiting lists for permanent disability housing.
