HRES 1554 United States House · 119th Congress

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

This House resolution declares it is the duty of the Federal Government to establish a federal job guarantee that offers employment to any eligible individual who seeks paid work. The proposed program would pay workers at least $25 per hour, adjusted for inflation, and provide benefits such as health insurance, paid leave, and retirement plans without replacing existing safety net programs. Job guarantee positions would be filled through public projects focused on community needs, including care work, infrastructure repair, environmental conservation, and education support. The resolution specifies that the Department of Labor would administer the program in coordination with the Treasury, while state and local governments would help identify and manage specific projects.
