The Jobs Now Act of 2025 amends the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act to establish a 2-year pilot program. The program awards grants to units of general local government and community-based organizations to retain, employ, or train employees providing public services. Priority is given to areas with high unemployment, foreclosure, and poverty rates. Recipients must use at least 50% of the grant funds to retain employees who would otherwise be laid off due to budget cuts. The Secretary of Labor is required to submit a report to Congress on the program's outcomes and best practices.
