Labor Market Response Act
HR 4827, the Labor Market Response Act, requires applicants for certain federal grants to include evidence of in-demand jobs or worker shortages in their applications. This change amends Section 2008 of the Social Security Act, adding a new requirement (subsection (c)) that mandates applicants describe recent labor market information showing job availability or shortages. The bill directly affects state and local workforce development programs seeking these grants, as they must now provide this specific data. The requirement takes effect on October 1, 2023.
