Allows States to staff public employment service offices with State merit employees or with other staff who meet the same requirements that apply to Federal contractors. The change is a narrow amendment that adds a new provision to the Wagner‑Peyser Act to give States more flexibility in who can carry out employment service duties.

The amendment does not change funding levels or create new programs; it simply broadens who may perform the actions of employment service offices so long as those staff meet applicable contractor-style requirements.
