Omar supports a federal jobs guarantee that would offer meaningful work to anyone who wants it. The proposed program would provide wages of at least $15 an hour, health coverage, and benefits, and could supply workers for infrastructure investment and a transition to clean energy.

Context: The source does not specify program administration or how many jobs would be available.

In their own words

A federal jobs guarantee, which I have introduced bold legislation to support, would provide meaningful work to anybody who wants it.
