Today, Deputy Secretary Wally Adeyemo released the following statement on the Inflation

“The Biden-Harris Administration is committed to taking steps to make sure clean energy
jobs are good-paying jobs and that American workers are ready to take on the opportunities
created by the Inflation Reduction Actʼs investments. Strong labor protections are now in
place, and workers on these projects will see higher paychecks and more opportunities. This
marks the first time that workers on projects supported by clean energy tax incentives will
benefit from protections on pay that have long benefitted workers on projects supported by
federal contracts. Treasuryʼs guidance to implement this critical piece of the Inflation
Reduction Act ensures that workers benefit from the clean energy economy they are building.”
