BIDEN ADMINISTRATION TAKES NEW STEPS TO ADDRESS JOB QUALITY AMID RECORD-SETTING
RESIGNATIONS

Why are people quitting their jobs? 03:10

Washington (CNN)Labor Secretary Marty Walsh announced a new federal roadmap to
improve job quality and job access on Friday, as Americans continue to leave the
workforce in record numbers amid the Covid-19 pandemic.

The program, called the Good Jobs Initiative, was unveiled by Walsh -- the
former mayor of Boston -- at the US Conference of Mayors winter meeting in
Washington. The initiative, led by the Labor Department, will establish a broad
framework across the federal government to inform workers of their rights --
including their right to collectively bargain, engage employers in improving
jobs to retain workers and deploy federal agencies to bolster the plan.
"We are going to work across federal agencies to build job quality into all our
contracting and grant making. That means not just minimum wage -- but prevailing
wages, paid leave, registered apprenticeship, pre-apprenticeships, that open up
opportunities for women and people of color and underserved communities all
across this great country," Walsh said during his speech at the meeting. "We're
going to engage employers to help them improve job quality, so every industry
can attract and retain the talent they need. We're going to speak directly to
workers -- making sure they have the information they need to exercise their
rights, to find a good job, and get in-demand skills."



The new initiative comes as America's job market is facing complex and
consequential shifts -- dubbed by some as the "great resignation."

While the country no longer faces the record high unemployment rate seen at the
start of the pandemic, there's a labor shortage -- leading many workplaces to
struggle to keep up with demand.

A record 4.5 million Americans quit their jobs in November, but many of those
departures are young people leaving for other jobs or better pay.
Still, labor force participation -- meaning the number of people in the US
working or looking for a job -- hasn't improved at the same pace as the decline
in unemployment since the pandemic.
While there have been a variety of issues leading to Americans to exit the
workforce, early retirement has made a major impact. Nearly 70% of the 5 million
people who left the labor force during the pandemic were older than 55,
according to researchers from Goldman Sachs, with many not wanting to return to
work.
There are also other factors impacting the labor market, like the many women who
were forced to drop out of the labor force during the pandemic who have not
returned and the rising number of people saying they're self-employed.
In an interview before announcing the Good Jobs Initiative, Walsh contended that
many Americans are leaving their jobs because they want more from their
employers.
"I don't think 'the great resignation' is the real story when you look (at the
fact that) more people joined the workforce last year than any time last 25
years," Walsh told CNN. "But I think a lot of people did leave the workforce
because they weren't earning good wages and, for whatever reason, decided to
leave."
The genesis of the initiative, Walsh said, was the sweeping bipartisan
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law last fall. A
priority of the initiative will be to support the implementation of the
bipartisan infrastructure law, providing guidance on jobs created through
infrastructure investments, according to the Labor Department.
"We want to ensure that while implementing the bipartisan infrastructure law,
the jobs that are created are high-paying, good quality jobs, and make sure
people have access," he said.
Additionally, the initiative will centralize agencies' efforts to provide
technical assistance on many job quality standards across the federal
government, including anti-discrimination requirements, equal employment
opportunity requirements in apprenticeships and supporting environments for free
and fair union organizing and collective bargaining, according to the Labor
Department. DOL will also partner with the White House to support agencies in
their efforts.
In addition to the federal efforts, Walsh on Friday invited mayors to partner
with the Biden administration on the initiative, and told CNN he plans to speak
to governors next week about states' involvement.
In another federal effort this week aimed at supporting workers amid the
pandemic, the US Department of Health and Human Services announced it will award
$103 million to help retain health care workers by strengthening long-term
efforts to reduce burnout and to promote mental health.
The money for the services comes as about one in four hospitals in the US are
reporting a "critical staffing shortage," more than most of the Covid-19
pandemic, according to data from HHS.

The funding, part of the American Rescue Plan passed into law last spring, will
be "disbursed to numerous organizations that oversee evidence-informed programs
and practices and training. The focus will be on providers who do service in
underserved and rural communities," Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier
Becerra said during a press conference on Thursday.
DOL and the Department of Transportation also announced new initiatives earlier
this month aimed at addressing truck driver shortages and retaining drivers,
which comes amid a supply chain crunch nationwide.

CNN's Naomi Thomas, Allison Morrow and Anneken Tappe contributed to this report.
