The Build Local, Hire Local bill contains a comprehensive set of reforms to raise wages and labor standards, strengthen unions, invest in American manufacturing, create new opportunities for high-quality jobs, and strengthen communities that have been negatively impacted by previous infrastructure policies. These reforms would be applied to the nation’s estimated $100 billion in annual infrastructure spending across a series of industries.
The policy has been introduced in the U.S. House and U.S. Senate, but has not yet been discussed in the relevant committees.
