The Walsh-Healey Act applies to which type of contracts?

State-level contracts
Private industry contracts
U.S. government contracts
International contracts

The correct answer is: U.S. government contracts

The Walsh-Healey Act specifically applies to contracts made by the U.S. government, particularly those involving the manufacturing or furnishing of goods for government use. This piece of legislation ensures that businesses engaged in such contracts comply with minimum labor standards, which include fair wages and safe working conditions. The Act is aimed at ensuring that government procurement is conducted in a manner that protects the welfare of workers. In the context of the other options, state-level contracts are governed by state-specific laws and regulations, private industry contracts do not fall under the purview of this federal act, and international contracts are subject to international law and agreements rather than the Walsh-Healey Act. Therefore, understanding that the Act is designed to protect workers engaged in federal procurement highlights its relevance exclusively to U.S. government contracts.
