Federal Jobs Guarantee: Fulfilling the Human Right to Dignified Work
By providing decent work to all who seek it, a federal jobs guarantee could reduce poverty and inequality, advance gender and racial justice, protect workers’ rights, and provide critically needed social services.
Oxfam America recognizes the fundamental human right to dignified work and the critical role of the public sector in helping achieve that right. To that end, a federal jobs guarantee can help fulfill workers’ rights, strengthen the economy, and reduce racial and gender inequalities.
