Statement of U.S. Labor Secretary Elaine L. Chao on
Passage of Legislation to Create Personal Reemployment Accounts
WASHINGTON—U.S. Secretary of Labor Elaine L. Chao today
released the following statement in response to the U.S. House of
Representatives’ passage of H.R. 444, the Back to Work Incentive Act:
“With the creation of 1.1 million new jobs since last summer, the
President’s economic policies are working. This Administration is
committed to helping dislocated workers obtain the training they need to
capitalize on these new career opportunities and Personal Reemployment
Accounts, or PRAs, would give workers unprecedented choice in accessing the
services and training they need to help them prepare for new jobs.
“Congressmen John Boehner, Buck McKeon and Jon Porter deserve a
great deal of credit for their leadership on this bill on behalf of
America’s workers.”
