Workforce and Entrepreneurship

More Work. Less Dependency.

Despite policymakers’ steps to “stimulate” the American economy, it remains in shambles. Inflation is reaching new highs, consumer confidence is through the floor, and government deficits are skyrocketing. But perhaps the most critical sign of our struggling economy is the poor state of America’s workforce.

The power of work is a miracle.

Work helps provide meaning, transforms generations, and gives people the freedom to pursue happiness. Unfortunately, work is under attack.

Regulations on jobs at both the local and state levels make it difficult for individuals to get a job and earn a living. In addition, college degrees—once regarded as a surefire pathway to good-paying jobs—are leaving many graduates with crushing student loan debt that can take a decade to pay off. And to make matters worse, poorly designed benefit programs often incentivize dependency over work.

Only through commonsense measures—all of which existed prior to COVID-19—can policymakers ignite the economic recovery America needs.
