Sanders's jobs guarantee would fund hundreds of projects throughout the United States aimed at addressing priorities such as infrastructure, care giving, the environment, education and other goals. Under the job guarantee, every American would be entitled to a job under one of these projects or receive job training to be able to do so, according to an early draft of the proposal. Sanders joins two other rumored 2020 Democratic presidential contenders who have expressed support for the idea of a jobs guarantee. But in a new political climate, ideas such as a jobs guarantee plan is gaining traction among prominent Democrats. Beyond how to pay for the plan, many other aspects of the jobs guarantee have not been specified.
