Government aims to expand jobs program if Congress acts
Labor Secretary Ray Marshall said the Carter administration is seeking ways to boost its jobs program if Congress demands more. A government wide survey will measure how many can work in public service and training, with agencies asked to assess forest and park labor, railroad track repairs, weatherizing homes for low income seniors, and teacher aides as possible expansions. The move comes amid talks of a larger stimulus package and potential veto risks.
