When someone is on a Job Guarantee job, they have to be paid a living wage. In a fiat money reserve banking system, of course, a Job Guarantee at a living wage serves as an inflation anchor, reducing the need to rely on high interest rates to keep inflation under control.

Organizations other than the Job Guarantee agency itself should be able to proposes Job Guarantee employment.

However, not only should that be vetted for not simply replacing previous employment, but it also should be a defined project of fixed duration, and those organizations that have had a project staffed going to the back of the queue for more JG workers.

And of course, external project sponsors should be responsible for on-costs.


I've been accused of being a Marxist, yet while Harpo's my favourite, it's Groucho I'm always quoting. Odd, that.
