A federal jobs guarantee is as simple as it sounds on the surface: everyone in the country will be guaranteed a job by the US government should they desire one. There are two versions right now gaining attention. One plan is written by academics Mark Paul, Sandy Darity, and Darrick Hamilton. The other was written by Pavlina Tcherneva. In general, these plans promise:∂ Guaranteed jobs in infrastructure repair, ecological restoration, caregiving, and community development projects.∂ Benefits like health insurance, paid sick leave/vacation, and retirement plans.∂ Control for state and local governments that will decide which kinds of jobs to create.∂ A reduced uptake of welfare programs and unemployment insurance as well as decreased criminal justice costs.∂ The key difference between the two plans is the minimum wage for the new jobs. The Tcherneva plan establishes a $15 minimum wage and the Paul et al. plan calls for an $11.80 minimum wage for all federally guaranteed jobs. Yet, both have the same underlying goal: Permanently solve the problem of involuntary unemployment by making the federal government the employer of last resort.
