Workers – Infrastructure – Apprenticeships
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law will invest more than a half trillion dollars in American infrastructure over five years. This could create more than 3 million jobs in the construction workforce, bringing hundreds of thousands of new job opportunities every year. As details of a “generational opportunity” were debated, openings for construction jobs increased steadily and significantly.
