Employment -- John McCain
 

Here is Sen. John McCain's, R-Ariz., plan for bettering the skills of our work force:

  • Improve education and increase parental choice in the schools that their children attend.
  • Reform unemployment insurance to turn it into a retraining program for people needing to re-enter the work force. He will also beef up training programs to "approaches that can be used to meet the bills, pay for training and get back to work."
  • Give older, displaced workers who start new jobs supplemental income for a few years.
