I suggest that if it is only something the Senator is wanting to list as a permissible activity, we already do that under the Workforce Development Act. It is listed as a definition. It is included in the dislocated workers as one of the benchmarks in the bill. Although displaced homemakers are not counted separately, I will argue this is still a population that is very much a part of the training, both education and jobs, under the work force development bill.
