[Congressional Bills 119th Congress] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office] [H.R. 7585 Introduced in House (IH)] <DOC> 119th CONGRESS 2d Session H. R. 7585 To address the needs of workers in industries likely to be impacted by rapidly evolving technologies. _______________________________________________________________________ IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES February 13, 2026 Mr. Schneider introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on Education and Workforce _______________________________________________________________________ A BILL To address the needs of workers in industries likely to be impacted by rapidly evolving technologies. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This Act may be cited as the ``Investing in Tomorrow's Workforce Act of 2026''. SEC. 2. FINDINGS. Congress makes the following findings: (1) A 2019 Government Accountability Office report found that while there are many Federal employment and training programs, their total funding levels remain at nearly $20,000,000,000, or less than 0.1 percent of the gross domestic product of the United States. (2) The number of workers receiving federally supported training has declined in the past 3 decades as advances in technology have simultaneously shifted labor market demand over time. (3) Job losses from automation are more likely to impact women, people of color, and workers making less than $40,000 annually. (4) The World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs Report 2025 found that robots and automation are forecast to displace nearly 5,000,000 more jobs than they create between 2025 and 2030. (5) Strong Federal investment in expanding training services for workers whose jobs may be lost due to automation could prepare the United States workforce to better adapt to changes in the labor market and enter into skilled positions in technologically oriented occupations and industries.
