New programs would help long-term unemployed people find jobs.
This bill would create new job programs nationwide. These programs would help people who have been out of work for a long time by offering temporary jobs, training, and support. It would also provide special grants to communities with high poverty or few jobs.
Today, about 1.8 million Americans have been unemployed for six months or more, and job market confidence has dropped significantly. If this bill becomes law, the government would set up a national jobs program to help these long-term unemployed individuals find temporary jobs, get training, and receive support services, with funding for wages and benefits. It would also offer special grants to communities with high poverty rates (at least 20 percent) to boost local job growth.
