Expanding the Workforce
Young people and workers need states to act fast. As a recession becomes more likely, so do their chances of being laid off, overlooked, and left behind. For many teenagers and twenty-somethings, starting a business is their best bet to come through a downturn in the short term and contribute to the economy and their communities over the long run.

FGA is committed to offering state legislators real, commonsense solutions that lawmakers can implement in states to engage and win the war on work.
