One of the most enduring ideas in economics is that unemployment is both unavoidable and necessary for the smooth functioning of the economy. This assumption has provided cover for the devastating social and economic costs of job insecurity. It is also false. In this book, leading expert Pavlina R. Tcherneva challenges us to imagine a world where the phantom of unemployment is banished and anyone who seeks decent, living-wage work can find it - guaranteed. This is the aim of the Job Guarantee proposal: to provide a voluntary employment opportunity in public service to anyone who needs it. Tcherneva enumerates the many advantages of the Job Guarantee over the status quo and proposes a blueprint for its implementation within the wider context of the need for a Green New Deal. This compact primer is the ultimate guide to the benefits of one of the most transformative public policies being discussed today. It is essential reading for all citizens and activists who are passionate about social justice and building a fairer economy.

The Job Opportunities in the Business Sector (JOBS) program in a manpower assistance program that was begun in January 1968 under the joint sponsorship of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the National Alliance of Businessmen (NAB). Designed to alleviate the problems of hard-core unemployment and underemployment, the JOBS program is composed of three elements: assistance contracting with employers whereby the DOL reimburses the employer for the extraordinary costs of training and providing supportive services to employees selected from among the hard-core disadvantaged and the working disadvantaged; the hiring of in-school needy youth between the ages of 16 and 21 for productive summer jobs to provide work experience that will lead them back to school or on to other forms of education, training, or permanent employment; the hiring, training, and supportive servicing of hard-core disadvantaged persons by employers under a volunteer hiring program in which expenses are not reimbursed by the government.
