    It is the sense of Congress that, in administering the trade 
adjustment assistance program under chapter 2 of title II of the Trade 
Act of 1974 (19 U.S.C. 2271 et seq.), a State should--
            (1) prioritize providing training that leads to employment 
        outcomes that replace 100 percent of an adversely affected 
        worker's wages;
            (2) steer workers toward training that leads to a livable 
        wage and sustainable employment; and
            (3) prioritize assistance for underserved communities to 
        promote equitable and inclusive economic benefits for all 
        workers.
