Nixon Proposes States Run Job Training Funds
President Nixon urged Congress to approve a Manpower Training Act shifting federal job training funds to states and cities. The plan aims to train over one million Americans yearly, add 150000 trainees, and create a computerized National Job Bank while tweaking welfare incentives and equalizing living allowances across programs. State control would grow as funds are released upon demonstrated planning and agency setup.
