WOTC WORKS!
WHat is WOTC?
For nearly 30 years, the Work Opportunity Tax Credit (WOTC) has helped employers hire, train and retain workers who are too often left on the sidelines. At a time of persistent workforce shortages, WOTC remains a proven, bipartisan tool that strengthens businesses, expands opportunity and connects people with meaningful jobs. Congress should extend — and ultimately make permanent — this critical credit so employers have the certainty they need to keep America working.
