American Jobs Act: Impact Per State

Upgrading and Repairing Our Schools

The President is proposing that we invest $30 billion in enhancing the condition of our nation’s public schools and community colleges. This money would fund a range of critical repairs and needed renovation projects that would put hundreds of thousands of Americans – including construction workers, engineers and electrical workers – back to work. And it will help modernize at least 35,000 public schools – from improved science labs and upgraded internet-ready classrooms to renovated facilities.

Putting Our Teachers Back to Work

The Department of Labor reports that nearly 200,000 educators have lost their jobs in the past 12 months and the Council of Economic Advisers estimates another 280,000 are at risk of being laid off in the coming year. President Obama’s American Jobs Act proposal would invest $30 billion to enable up to 400,000 educators to continue teaching, helping our students learn.
