Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
H.Res. 1554 is a resolution recognizing the federal government's duty to establish a national job guarantee program. The bill proposes guaranteeing employment to all willing adults at a minimum wage of $25 per hour with federal employee-level benefits, creating positions in areas like care work, infrastructure, environmental conservation, affordable housing, and public art. The program would be administered by the Department of Labor working with state and local governments while preserving existing safety net programs and workers' rights to organize. The resolution grounds this proposal in historical precedent including FDR's Economic Bill of Rights and the 1963 March on Washington, arguing such a program is necessary to address stagnant wages, poverty, underemployment, and economic inequality including racial and gender wealth gaps.
