Human Resources: JOBS MEASURE A GOOD FIRST STEP FOR LOW-INCOME WORKERS, BUT MORE TARGETED INTERVENTIONS ARE NEEDED

The House late Wednesday passed Jobs for Main Street, a bill that includes provisions that would aid the long-term unemployed, invest in job training programs, and provide tax relief to low-income, working families. Specifically, the bill aids struggling workers and their families by extending emergency unemployment benefits for six months, providing $2 billion for various hiring and training programs, and making the Child Tax Credit available to all low-income working families. Following is a statement about the bill by Evelyn Ganzglass , director of workforce development at the Center for Law and Social Policy (CLASP ).
