PolicyJobs and Services for People in NeedThe JOBS for Success Act is a federal bill that would help people who receive public assistance find and keep good jobs. It connects them with job training, childcare, rides to work, and other support so they can succeed.

PolicyEmpowering Modern WorkersThis federal bill would update work rules to better support people who work as freelancers or gig workers — like rideshare drivers or delivery workers. It gives these workers more say in how they do their jobs.

PolicyEntrepreneurial Skills Study ActThis federal bill would create a study to see how well programs that teach people business and entrepreneurship skills are actually working. The goal is to find out what helps people start their own businesses and become more independent.
