Referred to the Subcommittee on Energy, Climate and Grid Security.
The Workforce Solutions Act requires the Secretary of Labor and Secretary of Energy to jointly prepare an annual report for Congress analyzing how changes in energy production and critical manufacturing industries are affecting workers and job opportunities. The report, due within 180 days of the law's enactment and updated yearly thereafter, must examine job growth, entry-level positions, salary levels, career advancement paths, and the skills needed for various occupations in these sectors. The legislation specifically directs the secretaries to identify barriers that prevent people in underserved communities from accessing these new jobs and to assess how digital technology is transforming the critical manufacturing industry. This bill affects workers, job seekers, policymakers, and communities dependent on energy and manufacturing sectors by providing regular data to inform workforce development decisions. No specific funding amounts are mentioned in the legislation.
