Incentivize companies to hire long term unemployed through tax incentives, etc to get people back in the workforce. Currently companies have no incentive to hire the long term unemployed and often are hesitant to do so. These individuals need the government to incentivize their Equal-Employment potential even if they lack a few skills. Potentially the program can look similar to the Skill-Bridge program for Active Duty (see my other policy request). Society needs to have options for getting back into the workforce and changing jobs/skills as a near term solution to prevent personal economic default (as i may be experiencing soon).

Are you a believer in affirmative action? That’s what this essentially is on a dumbed down level. Hire the best person for the job, regardless of past employment status
