| Description: | Commit to a Jobs Guarantee program which could create thousands of jobs in the green and care sectors, paying at least the real living wage, with accredited skills training. This program would benefit those workers hit particularly hard by the pandemic such as those under the age of 25. Jobs would be funded by the government and created in sectors vital to our economic recovery but also in combating climate change. "
