The bill increases public and policymaker visibility into AI-driven labor market changes and supports targeted retraining, but it creates recurring compliance costs, privacy/confidentiality risks, and administrative strain for firms and statistical agencies.
Workers, employers, policymakers, and the public will get regular, standardized public data and summarized reports on AI-driven layoffs, hires, retraining, and unfilled positions so they can monitor labor-market shifts and inform oversight.
Workers facing displacement will see counts of employees receiving retraining assistance reported, making employers' retraining efforts visible and helping target workforce support programs.
State and local governments (and program designers) will get consistent, comparable industry-level data via required NAICS coding, enabling better-targeted training programs and regional responses to AI-driven changes.
Small and mid-size private employers will face new recurring compliance costs and administrative burdens from frequent quarterly reporting about AI-related workforce changes.
Workers (including people with disabilities) risk exposure of personally identifiable or sensitive information if published granular data are not fully deidentified.
Non-public companies risk competitive harm if firm-level AI impact data reveal proprietary staffing strategies or business-sensitive details unless confidentiality protections are robust.
Based on analysis of 2 sections of legislative text.

Introduced June 18, 2026 by Steven Horsford · Last progress June 18, 2026
Requires employers and other covered entities to report quarterly to the Secretary of Labor detailed counts of U.S. AI-related job impacts — including layoffs, hires, unfilled positions, and retraining numbers — and to identify the NAICS industry codes for those impacts. The Secretary must incorporate questions into existing labor and Census surveys as appropriate, publish quarterly and annual summaries and analyses on the Bureau of Labor Statistics website, and submit those reports to Congress; regulations implementing the reporting program must be issued within 180 days of enactment.
