I support the amendment. The aim of this amendment is to create an Office of Good Jobs within the Department of the Treasury. This office would help ensure that the Treasury makes contracting and employment decisions encouraging the creation of decently paid jobs, implementation of fair labor practices, and responsible employment practices. The Federal Government ought to be setting an example for the Nation when it comes to contracting decisions. Members of Congress who are committed to creating good-paying jobs and supporting workers have a chance with this amendment to see those values reflected throughout our government. This office will help guide the Treasury to make responsible contracting and employment decisions and do right by the countless men and women who help us perform the Nation's business each and every day. I urge adoption of the amendment.
