Today, U.S. Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-04) questioned Mike Rowe, former host of Discovery Channel's Dirty Jobs, about the importance of a skilled workforce at a House Natural Resources hearing entitled "American Energy Jobs: Opportunities for Skilled Trades Workers."

After the hearing, Rep. Gosar said, "Skilled trades jobs are essential for ensuring America's energy future. Unfortunately, many of these high-paying jobs are left unfilled because we don't have the skilled workforce to fill them. I was pleased to have the opportunity to discuss this problem with former Dirty Jobs host Mike Rowe. He provided some valuable insights for addressing this problem moving forward."
