Establishes jobs programs for long-term unemployed workers through local boards.
The Ready to Work Act of 2026 establishes jobs programs for long-term unemployed workers through local boards. The Secretary of Labor will award grants to local boards to implement these programs, focusing on high-poverty areas and regions with chronically low employment rates. Participating employers, selected by local boards, will provide wages and compensation for eligible workers, with the employer share varying based on the unemployment rate in the covered area.
