An Assembly panel approved legislation sponsored by Assemblyman Bob Andrzejczak to require the state Employment and Training Commission to prepare an annual report on the state’s workforce. Andrzejczak said the intent of the legislation is to ensure a comprehensive report is available for the Department of Labor to help establish a clearer picture of New Jersey’s workforce. This annual report can be shared with public entities, private enterprise and educational institutions. “This is a time of economic uncertainty, and it is crucial that we continue to focus efforts on workforce training and education,” said Andrzejczak. “We must make sure the state is moving in the right direction and doing all it can to meet the needs of our workforce.” The bill was released by the Assembly Commerce and Economic Development Committee during a Thursday meeting.
