Thanks to
@IAGovernor’s forward-thinking approach to workforce issues, Iowa’s unemployment rate is 2.9%—and it’s as low as 1.9% in some parts of the state. Iowa’s economic boom is reflective of the economic boom underway throughout our nation. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W#jobsShow this thread -
Nationally, thanks to
@POTUS’s pro-growth, pro-jobs agenda, nearly 3 million jobs have been created since November 2016 across the country, and the unemployment rate has held steady at a 17-year low of 4.1%. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W#jobsShow this thread -
As I meet with working Americans, including during my visit to Iowa last week, I am focused less on where we are and more on where we are going: Even more jobs, even more opportunity, even greater prosperity. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W

Across the United States, there are a record 6.3 million open jobs. To fill these jobs, we are working with states to roll back burdensome occupational licensing rules and expand apprenticeships. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W

Millions of Americans already have the skills employers need to fill good, family-sustaining jobs that are currently unfilled. In some cases, their employment is blocked by excessive and burdensome occupational licensing requirements. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W

For some Americans, our education system fails to provide skills demanded in high-growth industries. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W

That’s why
@POTUS’s Task Force on Apprenticeship Expansion, which I chair, will recommend increasing apprenticeships designed to provide job seekers with the demand-driven skills they need to excel in the jobs of today and tomorrow. https://dmreg.co/2GJcO7W#jobsShow this thread -
