The Future of Work Task Force was established by Governor Murphy via Executive Order 41 to evaluate how
technological advancements will shape the future of New Jersey’s economy and workforce, and produce an
evidence-based policy roadmap to prepare the state for the future of work.
Specifically, the Task Force is charged with the following objectives:
-
Determine which technologies will impact work in New Jersey, which industries and sectors will be affected and
to what extent.
-
Identify the groups of residents in New Jersey likely to be most affected by these changes and how effects will
vary based on differing demographics, including gender, race, income, location, and education.
-
Explore the ways in which the same innovative technologies might improve workplace conditions, create different
jobs, and grow the state’s economy.
-
Devise innovative, impactful, and cost-effective strategies for what State government, universities, private
corporations, non-profits, and individuals can do to prepare for these changes and ensure a prosperous and
equitable future.
-
Produce an evidence-based policy roadmap for New Jersey to prepare for the future of work.
Throughout the lifespan of the Future of Work Task Force, there will be numerous opportunities for industry,
academic institutions, public policy stakeholders, and the general public to contribute to and strengthen the Task
Force’s work. To become aware of specific opportunities, please sign up below to stay in touch with the Task Force
