Statement of U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao
on Introduction of the “Back to Work Incentive Act”

WASHINGTON – U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao issued the following statement today about the introduction of the “Back to Work Incentive Act”:

“I applaud the House Committee on Education and the Workforce’s swift action to move forward the “Back to Work Incentive Act” to enact the President’s personal re-employment account proposal and get unemployed Americans back to work. The President’s proposal to create Personal Re-employment Accounts is a new, innovative approach to give unemployed Americans the assistance, support and flexibility they need to quickly find the right job.”
