From Job Guarantees to Wage Subsidies: Exploring Policy Options to Promote Employment

On December 6, the Brookings Institution will host a forum in Washington, D.C. to explore the challenges and solutions for low-wage workers’ facing obstacles to quality and sustainable jobs. Experts will debate the merits and potential efficacy of various proposed policies, such as job training, public employment, and subsidies, among others. The event will also be timed with a new white paper on the same topic.
