Recognizing the duty of the Federal Government to create a Federal job guarantee.

This House resolution states the sense of the House that the Federal Government has a duty to create a Federal job guarantee. It calls for a national effort to establish a legally enforceable right to employment, a Workers' Bill of Rights, and public job programs in areas such as care work, education, infrastructure, disaster relief, environmental projects, housing, and the arts. It describes job guarantee jobs paying at least $25 per hour with health insurance, paid leave, retirement benefits, and the right to join unions. The program would be run by the Department of Labor with funding distributed through the Treasury and help from State, local, territorial, and Tribal governments. As a resolution, it does not itself create the program or provide funding.
