Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Federal job guarantee.
Summary
H.Res. 145 is a resolution that calls on the federal government to establish a federal job guarantee, which would provide every person in the United States with a legal right to a quality job. Under this proposal, the government would fund and create public sector positions for any adult seeking work, focusing on community needs such as infrastructure, childcare, elder care, and environmental protection.
For citizens, this would mean the availability of a federally funded job with a minimum wage of $25 per hour, including benefits like health insurance, paid leave, and retirement savings. The program is designed to act as an "economic stabilizer" by ensuring that employment remains available even during private-sector downturns, specifically aiming to close income gaps and provide stable career pathways for all residents.
