Workforce Solutions Act

HR 6819, the Workforce Solutions Act, requires the Secretaries of Labor and Energy to jointly submit annual reports to Congress beginning 180 days after the bill's enactment. These reports must analyze economic impacts on occupations in energy and critical manufacturing industries, including growth trends, entry-level requirements, living wage data, career pathways, barriers for under-served communities, and digital technology effects. The bill does not create new programs or alter existing policies but mandates this specific reporting requirement for federal departments. It directly affects the Department of Labor and Department of Energy, which must produce the analyses. The focus is solely on gathering data to inform congressional decision-making.
