The American Jobs Act has five key components:
- Tax Cuts to Help America’s Small Businesses Hire and Grow
- Putting Workers Back on the Job While Rebuilding and Modernizing America
- Pathways Back to Work for Americans Looking for Jobs
- More Money in the Pockets of Every American Worker and Family
- Fully Paid for as Part of the President’s Long-Term Deficit Reduction Plan
The American Jobs Act will impact payroll and hiring significantly if passed. Some payroll related items include a social security rate decrease to 3.1% for both employers and employees, tax credits for businesses that hire long term unemployed workers, and a helping hand for veterans.
