A Toolkit for Good Jobs
About
The U.S. Department of Labor has been committed to creating equitable pathways to jobs for all communities so that no one is left behind. Last year the Good Jobs Initiative was put forward, which helped federal partners embed job quality and equity incentives in more than $97 billion in Bipartisan Infrastructure Law funds.,
Currently, the Department of Labor released Good Jobs in Federal Investments: A Toolkit for Employers, Workers, and Government, which also builds the same efforts and lessons learned. The toolkit is intended to assist federal agencies, state, tribal and local governments, employers, and labor and worker advocacy organizations in unleashing their power to improve job quality and equity.
The toolkit resource provides information on the administration’s job quality priorities and how they will affect federally funded infrastructure projects. Many of the recommendations are equally applicable to the states, local, and tribal governments that distribute federal funds or bid out contracts as they are to federal agencies. It also provides a model framework for how state agencies can collaborate with one another to promote quality jobs and equitable pathways to those jobs.
If you have questions, feel free to contact us, or you may also email GoodJobsInitiative@dol.gov. More information can be viewed at http://www.goodjobs.gov/.
