Businesses can still sign on to this letter, joining industry leaders across the country in calling on Congress to meet this moment with investment in America's workers. https://t.co/Bzvy4uccMo

The Senate's bipartisan infrastructure bill could add $1.4 trillion to the U.S. economy over eight years and create millions of jobs. Yet, without enough trained workers, efforts to strengthen roads and public transit could be stymied.

"Do we have the work force ready right now to take care of this? Absolutely not,” said Beverly Scott, the vice chair of the President’s National Infrastructure Advisory Council (and member of @BLU4WP and @skillscoalition’s Infrastructure Recovery Panel) https://t.co/WXBxAiKwGo

"The bill could generate new jobs in industries... such as construction, transportation and energy... But if there is not enough labor to keep up with the demand, efforts to strengthen the nation’s highways, bridges and public transit could be set back." https://t.co/RlqK9b79fV

That’s why @BLU4WP collaborated with @autodesk and @Workday along with 118 business and industry leaders (and counting!) across the country calling on Congress to prioritize workforce investments https://t.co/IHMFn48IgX

Anchor Construction is not alone--businesses across the country are struggling to find skilled workers, even as last month saw record postings for new jobs. That's why it is so critical for Congress to make bold investments in workforce development now
