Enacted in 2023, Bill No. 220865 requires the Department of Commerce to produce a City of Philadelphia workforce development annual report for City Council uses. This report compiles certain aggregate information regarding citywide employment rates, as well as City-funded or led workforce development and training programs.

The Department of Commerce Division of Workforce Solutions invests in and convenes workforce development organizations citywide to drive workforce strategy in Philadelphia. Commerce works to build a workforce system in City government that is more coordinated, innovative, and effective. The work aims to address poverty, the talent needs of employers, and to grow the economy.
