What it does
The Employment Services and Jobs Parity Act would amend the Wagner-Peyser Act to extend employment services and unemployment compensation provisions to the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands and American Samoa, treating them similarly to Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. It would require these territories to be included in definitions, unemployment compensation requirements, and funding allotments under the Act, with specific formula-based allocations beginning in fiscal years when total available funds exceed those of FY2025. The bill aims to ensure parity in access to federal employment services and job training resources for workers in these U.S. territories.
