Bipartisan laws, such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and CHIPS and Science Act, are designed to support thousands upon thousands of new jobs in each state.
Work on upgrading infrastructure and expanding high speed internet. Jobs in areas with critical shortages like cybersecurity and health care. The 21st century will require jobs in fields like manufacturing electric vehicles, microchips, and semiconductors.
Governors banded together on a bipartisan basis to push for these laws, and now they are busy implementing them – breaking ground on long-planned projects.
