Out of the 824 bills that the group labeled “job killers” between 19, only 58 have been signed into law. The chamber also takes bills off the list when they are amended in a way that the group supports. But not all “job killers” are truly killed, to borrow the group’s phrase. In 2021, it put the label on 25 bills and one was signed into law. Last year, it dubbed 19 bills ‘job killers’ and two were signed into law. The chamber initially tagged 13 bills as “job killers,” but says it expects that number to grow in the coming weeks.īy the business group’s own accounting, the list is a remarkably successful lobbying tool. The chamber argues that some businesses can’t afford to offer more paid sick leave, and that ”increased labor costs will inevitably either be passed on to consumers as higher prices for goods and services, or force employers to reduce jobs or cut wages or other benefits.”
