To strengthen the middle class and help struggling families we must do more to create jobs and grow the economy. This means helping our small businesses and local industries that can support good paying jobs for years to come, including aerospace, manufacturing, high-tech, sustainable agriculture, clean energy and health care. We must reward businesses that are creating family wage jobs and invest in the training and skills of our workers to ensure they are prepared for these jobs. To help families struggling to make ends meet, I fought and secured $200 million in job training funds to help low-income individuals receiving nutrition assistance get the skills and training they need to get a job.
