A San Francisco-based organization of young workers released results of a student survey today to show elected officials what issues young voters prioritize as the November election nears. "Our issues are ultimately everyone's issues,'' said Matt Garron, a City College of San Francisco student and member of Young Workers United. The organization, which aims to improve the quality of jobs and boost the political power of young and immigrant workers and students, released the results of "Millennial Concerns: Young Voters Speak Out in 2008,'' at a news conference on the steps of City Hall. More than 500 City College of San Francisco students of differing ethnicities and ages were surveyed. Health care and affordable housing ranked highest on the list of important issues, according to the survey. The report recommended more public education and outreach be provided around city's Healthy San Francisco and Paid Sick Days programs and that the Office of Labor Standards and Enforcement needs greater resources to enforce the law. Rising tuition, a jump in food costs and affordable wages also were high among student concerns. More than 60 percent of the students surveyed are employed, with a majority of them working in restaurant and retail industries, according to the report. Speakers at today's news conference said a record number of young voters are expected to turn out for the November election and mentioned that about 80 percent of those surveyed were registered to vote. The organization helped to register some of those who were not registered to vote. The report recommended that educators create voter registration opportunities and encourage young voters to debate issues in the classroom. In addition, the report called on students and young workers to take action, suggesting civic engagement of young voters is significant in stabilizing tuition rates and passing legislation to increase affordable housing in San Francisco.
