U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh today unveiled a new three part “Good Jobs” initiative. Under the new initiative, the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) will: increase information sharing for workers about issues like workers’ rights; engage employers on job quality and workforce development; and provide technical assistance and support to other federal agencies working to develop and attach job quality standards to their policies and programs—particularly as applies to the implementation of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act.
