Create a federal jobs guarantee
Ocasio-Cortez endorses a federal jobs guarantee for anyone willing and able to work. The proposed jobs would include a livable wage pegged to inflation, health coverage, and child and sick leave, alongside training and work in public services such as parks, childcare, environmental conservation, infrastructure, senior care and community development. She presents the plan as a way to provide employment and needed community services.
Context: The passage does not specify how the guarantee would be administered or funded.
In their own words
