The FY 2014 budget seeks $12.1 billion in discretionary funding for the department. To help the long-term unemployed get back to work, the department proposes two initiatives: Re-employment NOW, which incorporates Unemployment Insurance reforms, and Pathways Back to Work Fund, to make it easier for persons to remain connected to the workforce and gain new skills for long-term employment. The budget includes an innovative reform effort, the Universal Displaced Worker program, which will modernize and accelerate the delivery of training and employment services to workers who lose their jobs through no fault of their own. And the request also calls for significant investments in new funding to assist veterans, particularly those with disabilities, in finding employment.

USDOL Priorities for FY 2014
Investing in job creation, workforce innovation, building the skills of American workers and putting the
nation's veterans back to work are among the priorities in the Department of
Labor's fiscal year 2014 budget request to the Congress. "The investments
we make at the department will help create good jobs, upgrade workers' skills
so that they can succeed in those jobs, and make sure Americans can support
their families with a decent wage and secure benefits," acting Secretary
of Labor Seth D. Harris said in announcing the budget request on April 10.
