USDOL Announces Proposed FY 2010 Budget


 

Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis today outlined the president's fiscal
year (FY) 2010 budget for the U.S. Department of Labor through a
national online discussion with stakeholder groups, the general public,
and the news media. 

 
The budget requests $104.5 billion, with the majority to be used for
unemployment insurance benefits for displaced workers and federal
workers' compensation.

  
For employment and training programs, the budget provides $8.7 billion
for overall employment and training.  Because of recent stimulus
funding, much of the 2010 planned budget levels remain similar to
funding in 2009.  Following are comparisons of primary funding levels:

$50,000,000

New - Workforce Data Quality Initiative

 

$15,000,000

 

The budget also includes $12 million (a 68% increase) to support
rigorous evaluations for employment and training programs to determine
which programs and interventions work and inform the department's
policy, management, and resource allocation decisions for the future.
(Note: Funding levels for the 2011 budget will depend largely on the
system's performance with stimulus funding and on WIA reauthorization.)
