What it does
The Department of Labor must collect monthly and yearly data. The data covers job openings, hiring, and job losses. It focuses on how AI and automation affect work. The Census Bureau must survey businesses every three months. The surveys ask about AI use and worker effects. Labor and Commerce must write yearly reports on wages, job stability, and job types affected by AI.
Who it affects
Workers and job-seekers get access to detailed job-market data. This helps them plan careers and retraining. Policymakers and schools get facts to design job-training programs.
One thing to notice
The bill collects data but does not fund retraining. Data collection stops after ten years unless Congress votes to keep it.
