pure speculation on my part though.

i.e. when business goes slack you train workers up because you have time to train them and not have to deal with having to hire people in occupations facing shortages when things pick up again. plus, the same upskilling could facilitate job transitions if those workers end up losing their jobs.

Seeks like a retention plan. Because it says "for workers" rather than "to" it could be a combination of payments to employers to keep workers in jobs, tied in with upskilling support.

sounds a little like CERB + CEWS.

it's like some kind of test of loyalty. see who's willing to damage their own credibility by validating trump's policies as they (and he) become increasingly insane.

In a way

I think I'm going to just download my feed and photos and shut it down. Someone should create a National Flush Facebook Day event on fb.

Possibly one he'd have enjoyed.
