Hassan co-sponsors bipartisan legislation
WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Sen. Maggie Hassan, D-N.H., cosponsored bipartisan legislation- the Work Opportunity Tax Credit & Jobs Act – to make permanent the Work Opportunity Tax Credit, which encourages employers to hire individuals who face significant barriers to employment.
Currently, the credit expires on Dec. 31.
“With unemployment at a record low in New Hampshire, any Granite Stater who is willing to work hard should be able to enter the job market and secure a stable, good-paying job,” Hassan said.
“Making permanent the Work Opportunity Tax Credit is a common-sense measure to help some of our most vulnerable communities obtain employment, which will allow them to contribute to our shared economic success.”
