Deep federal cuts to workforce programs, the elimination of safety nets that families count on, and rollbacks to generational investments are putting our nation’s workforce system at risk. Without sustained investment in America’s workers — and in the pathways that connect people to good jobs — communities, small businesses, and families will all feel the impact.
While federal law sets the framework, states have significant discretion in how it’s implemented — from how they apply new work requirements in SNAP and Medicaid to how they invest workforce funds.
Through the Keep Our Workforce Strong Campaign, NSC will be equipping state leaders with resources to respond, ensuring workforce, education, and safety net systems are aligned.
