People in high-unemployment areas could get guaranteed jobs with benefits through a new pilot program.
A new pilot program would help people in areas with high unemployment find guaranteed jobs. The Department of Labor would give grants to local governments and Tribal groups to create these job programs. These jobs would offer fair wages, health insurance, and paid time off.
Currently, there is no federal program that guarantees jobs to individuals in high-unemployment areas. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Labor would create a pilot program. This program would offer grants to local governments and Tribal groups in areas with high unemployment to set up job guarantee programs. These programs would ensure employment for eligible residents, providing them with fair wages, health insurance, and paid time off. Additionally, employers who hire people from these programs would receive a tax credit.
