Since March, over 45 million Americans have applied for unemployment and some experts estimate that many of these jobs will not return. Many of the new jobs that are created to replace the old ones may require different skills for which workers may not be trained. Unfortunately, many of the workforce development programs in America have been severely underfunded for years, creating additional challenges in responding to mass unemployment. This hearing will analyze federal programs intended to develop the nation’s workforce and allow Members to hear from experts and officials about how to put Americans back to work.
