Workforce DATA Act

The Workforce DATA Act, also known as Bill 118 s 2138, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to improve the collection and reporting of data on the workforce in the United States.

The bill would require the Secretary of Labor to establish a Workforce Data Quality Initiative, which would be responsible for developing and implementing a plan to improve the accuracy and reliability of workforce data. This initiative would also work to ensure that the data collected is consistent and comparable across different sources.

Additionally, the Workforce DATA Act would require the Secretary of Labor to establish a Workforce Data Advisory Council, which would be responsible for providing guidance and recommendations on how to improve the collection and reporting of workforce data. This council would be made up of representatives from a variety of stakeholders, including employers, labor organizations, and government agencies. Overall, the Workforce DATA Act aims to provide policymakers, researchers, and the public with better information on the state of the workforce in the United States. By improving the quality of workforce data, this bill seeks to help inform decision-making and improve outcomes for workers and employers alike.
