Building the Case for Guaranteed Employment — State by State
The VLG Institute conducts research and policy development on state-level full-employment and jobs guarantee programs, starting with Virginia.
The VLG Institute advances research, education, and policy development on state-level full-employment and jobs guarantee programs. We're building the evidence base, public understanding, and legislative pathways needed to bring guaranteed employment policy to states across the country. Our initial work centers on the Virginia Targeted Employment & Pathways Program (VTEPP), a legislative framework for a Virginia jobs guarantee.
Research That Informs Policy
Drawing on the policy diffusion literature, how state-level innovation has historically shaped national policy adoption, The VLG Institute applies rigorous research methods to the jobs guarantee movement, building the evidence base state legislators and coalition partners need.
