       AN  ACT  to  amend  the labor law, in relation to workforce guidance and
         information for women

         THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND  ASSEM-
       BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

    1    Section  1.   Legislative intent. The legislature finds that women are
    2  increasingly responsible for the economic  security  of  their  families
    3  although more than a quarter of women-headed households in New York live
    4  below  the  poverty  level.  Working women earn 80% of what men earn and
    5  jobs traditionally held  by  women  pay  significantly  less  than  jobs
    6  predominantly employing men. Workforce training programs have the poten-
    7  tial  to narrow the wage gap through training for, and referral to, jobs
    8  that have higher earning potential. Many higher paying jobs  are  tradi-
    9  tionally  dominated by men but could provide opportunities for women. It
   10  is the goal of the legislature that workforce training programs  in  New
   11  York  assist  women  job seekers with information and services that will
   12  help increase their earnings by encouraging them to seek  higher  paying
   13  jobs and careers.
   14    S  2. The labor law is amended by adding a new section 10-c to read as
   15  follows:
   16    S 10-C. WORKFORCE GUIDANCE  AND  INFORMATION  FOR  WOMEN  POLICY.  THE
   17  DEPARTMENT  SHALL  PROVIDE GUIDANCE TO LOCAL WORKFORCE INVESTMENT BOARDS
   18  AND STAFF, TO ENABLE THEM TO BETTER EDUCATE AND INFORM  BOTH  WOMEN  AND
   19  MEN  ABOUT  HIGHER  PAYING JOBS AND CAREERS INCLUDING JOBS TRADITIONALLY
   20  DOMINATED BY MEN.  SUCH GUIDANCE SHALL PROMOTE PROGRAM SERVICES FOR  JOB
   21  SEEKERS THAT PROVIDE:

        EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
                             [ ] is old law to be omitted.
                                                                  LBD13679-04-2
       A. 9020--B                          2

    1    (A)  CURRENT  INFORMATION ABOUT COMPENSATION FOR JOBS AND CAREERS THAT
    2  OFFER HIGH EARNING POTENTIAL INCLUDING JOBS THAT ARE TRADITIONALLY DOMI-
    3  NATED BY MEN;
    4    (B)  COUNSELING,  SKILLS  DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING THAT ENCOURAGE BOTH
    5  WOMEN AND MEN TO SEEK EMPLOYMENT IN SUCH JOBS;
    6    (C) REFERRALS TO EMPLOYERS OFFERING SUCH JOBS; AND
    7    (D) CURRENT LOCAL LABOR MARKET INFORMATION REGARDING THE  GENDER  WAGE
    8  GAP  AND SPECIFIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY RATES FOR FAMILIES LIVING AND WORKING
    9  IN THAT LOCAL LABOR MARKET.
   10    S 3. This act shall take effect immediately.
