Employment Services and Jobs Parity Act

HR 3193, the Employment Services and Jobs Parity Act, amends the Wagner-Peyser Act to include the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa in federal employment service funding allocations, which previously only covered Guam. The bill sets funding for these territories based on the same percentage of total available funds that Guam received in fiscal year 1983, ensuring parity in their allocation. It also prevents states from receiving reduced funding due to this change and requires proportional reductions if total funds are insufficient. This adjustment directly affects residents of these territories by expanding access to federal job training and employment services.
