Bill > S3157

This bill, the Bridging the Gap for New Americans Act, requires the Secretary of Labor to conduct a study on the factors affecting employment opportunities for immigrants and refugees with professional credentials obtained in foreign countries. The study will analyze the employment history of these individuals, assess any barriers preventing them from using their foreign experience and qualifications to obtain appropriate employment in the U.S., and analyze available public and private resources to assist them. The bill also calls for policy recommendations to better enable these immigrants and refugees to obtain skill-appropriate jobs in the U.S. The study must be completed and reported to Congress within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
