Donny DiFrancesco on Jobs

Former Republican NJ Governor

Develop a workplace basic skills program

With unemployment at or below 4% for the past year, the demand for skilled labor has remained high. Continued economic growth requires that we reach out to train those whose lack of skills has caused them to be left behind.

So today I am directing the Commissioner of Labor to develop a workplace basic skills program. Let’s give all our citizens the help they need to ride the wave of prosperity. And let’s give employers the skilled workforce they need to keep our economic engine running at full speed.
