Nixon proposes broader state control of job training programs
President Nixon seeks to shift authority for 2.3 billion dollars in annual federal job programs to states and cities as part of New Federalism. The plan adds 150,000 more trainees at 400 million a year, with welfare recipients prioritized. A computerized national job bank would match workers to openings, and living allowances would be standardized across programs. The Labor Department retains oversight while governors and mayors gain planning and implementation power in rural and urban areas.
