Implementing an Inclusive Economic Recovery
Congress has made significant investments in America’s workforce in support of President Biden’s American Jobs Plan. Decisions made by state and federal policymakers about how to implement these investments over the next year could deepen or help diminish structural inequities. Guided by our Skills for an Inclusive Economic Recovery framework, NSC is committed to achieving the latter. Building off that framework, Implementing an Inclusive Recovery is an initiative to shape implementation of federal recovery investments as well as new state and federal workforce investments for years to come.
