Can the U.S. grow its future without a trained and skilled workforce? What are the jobs of the future and the unique challenges of workforce development in a technologically advanced economy? Are there ethical considerations? What supports need to be developed or are currently being provided from the administration to build a diverse and competitive workforce? How are we working to identify and support new workers – like recent immigrants, returning citizens and displaced workers? How is the administration working to address the wage gap and wealth gap among workers?
