In the past, the U.S. exported jobs and imported products. Meanwhile other countries surpassed us in critical sectors like infrastructure, clean energy, semiconductors, and biotechnology. Thanks to President Biden’s Investing in America Agenda, that is all changing. President Biden has signed historic legislation into law, such as:
- American Rescue Plan
- Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
- CHIPS and Science Act
- CHIPS and Science Act
Biden’s Investing in America agenda is mobilizing historic levels of private sector investments in the United States, bringing manufacturing back to America after decades of offshoring, and creating new, well-paying jobs, including union jobs and jobs that don’t require a college degree. His Investing in America agenda is rebuilding our roads and bridges using Made in America materials built by American workers.
And it’s transforming our country for the better – reaching communities that have too often been left behind. Below is a map that illustrates the impact of these record-breaking levels of public and private investment across the states under the Biden Administration.
