The Exchange - Education & Trade School

09/07/2026

Today, we honor The 40.

The people who work. Who contribute. Who keep our communities moving. And who too often find themselves in the space between qualifying for help and actually being able to afford the life they’re working for.

At The { } Exchange, we call them The 40 — households earning roughly 80–120% of Area Median Income.

Teachers. Entrepreneurs. Healthcare workers. REALTORS®. Tradespeople. Public servants. Small business owners. Working families.

Labor Day is a celebration of workers — and a reminder that work should create a pathway to more.

More stability.
More ownership.
More opportunity.
More wealth.

Today, we honor the work.

And every day, we’re working to make sure The 40 can build from it.

Happy Labor Day from The { } Exchange Ecosystem.
