The perpetual drumbeat for tax reform continues to echo around Capitol Hill. On August 5th, Senators Richard Durbin, D-Ill., Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. and Jack Reed, D-R.I. urged President Obama to take independent action to stop the tax-avoidance practice commonly known as corporate inversions. Their plea was made to the deserted corridors of the Capitol, as Congress has left Washington, D.C. for its August recess. The Administration has suggested that executive authority might be exercised to prevent inversions, albeit only as an alternative to Congress not moving forward with tax reform.

“The foundation of our job creation agenda is to
fundamentally reform our tax code for the first
time in more than 30 years.”
– President Donald Trump, August 30, 2017
“So part of the reason I think people feel we’re
underperforming is because too many artificial
deadlines – unrelated to the reality of the
complexity of legislating – may not have been
fully understood.”
– Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell,
August 8, 2017
“The House and the Senate are now socializing
the plan with their members. We’re going to

have zero UI
wages.
Majority of the
SWAs are unable to
view wages on a

And, those “wages”
may not necessarily
mean employment
wages (i.e., could be

Talent outreach – building a more robust
applicant pool
► As the labor market tightens, employers are challenged with finding qualified applicants.
► Leveraging community-based organizations throughout the country and hiring from their
targeted populations helps employers meet diversity and inclusiveness goals.
► At the same time, employing this applicant pool can increase your WOTC eligibility while
reducing your recruiting and hiring costs.
