Mission

The purpose of Get America Working! is to help America see how it could expand the percentage of its population in the workforce dramatically. By thus giving tens of millions the choice to work, these people would live happier lives, the economy would grow far more robustly, and the cost of the country’s severe social ills and large dependent population would decline.
