Requires DOLWD to track and maintain information on job loss due to automation.
This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Labor and Workforce Development (DOLWD) to track job losses caused by automation or technological advances. It mandates that individuals applying for unemployment benefits must indicate whether their job loss was due to automation or technology replacing their position. DOLWD will maintain these records without personal identifying information to identify vulnerable industries, provide resources for affected workers, and address employment concerns. The department will share this data with other state agencies upon request and submit semi-annual reports to the Governor and Legislature about employment trends based on this information.
