Over 2 years into the COVID-19 public health emergency, the U.S. government continues to fund massive amounts of investment in pandemic relief. Recently the White House announced that $40 billion in American Rescue Plan investments have been committed to workforce development. This amount includes over $13B in workforce investments that have been committed or proposed by more than 1,000 State, Local, Tribal and Territorial governments.1 These sums are separate from the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding which totals over $6 billion for program years 2021 and 2022.2
