Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass today launched RELAY28, a regional coalition dedicated to connecting local workers to jobs and helping local businesses prepare for the workforce needs of the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
A recent study by the Los Angeles County Economic Development Corporation (LAEDC) estimates that planning, preparing for, and hosting the Games could generate up to $40.6 billion in economic output and create more than 200,000 jobs across the L.A. region.
According to the mayor's office, RELAY28 is harnessing that economic opportunity to create and develop careers that will benefit working Angelenos beyond 2028.
No public events are scheduled for the mayor for Saturday, September 19 through Monday, September 21.
