The next article link discusses MMT's (Modern Money Theory's) Job Guarantee program, which would permit local non-profits and members of the community and the unemployed to make grant proposals for any government to pay non-profits to hire the unemployed to do local work requested by the community.

I also read on the MMT website that the Job Guarantee (JG) program would work with any govt, even local govt. I had previously thought that it should be possible for any city or county govt, which are mostly all corporations, to include similar Job Guarantees in its bylaws or constitution. But, after reading about MMT's JG idea, I thought that might be better to try first. If it were successful, the local govt might be persuaded to write it into the bylaws.
