Turning peril into possibility. Crisis into opportunity. Setback into strength.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I know some of you at home wonder whether these jobs are for you. You feel left behind and forgotten in an economy that\u2019s rapidly changing. Let me speak directly to you.<\/p>\n<p>Independent experts estimate the American Jobs Plan will add millions of jobs and trillions of dollars in economic growth for years to come. These are good-paying jobs that can\u2019t be outsourced. Nearly 90% of the infrastructure jobs created in the American Jobs Plan don\u2019t require a college degree. 75% don\u2019t require an associate\u2019s degree.<\/p>\n<p>The Americans Jobs Plan is a blue-collar blueprint to build America.<\/p>\n<p>And, it recognizes something I\u2019ve always said: Wall Street didn\u2019t build this country. The middle class built this country. And unions built the middle class.<\/p>\n<p>We have to prove democracy still works. That our government still works\u2014and can deliver for the people.<\/p>\n<p>In our first 100 days together, we have acted to restore the people\u2019s faith in our democracy to deliver.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019re vaccinating the nation. We\u2019re creating hundreds of thousands of jobs. We\u2019re delivering real results people can see and feel in their own lives. Opening the doors of opportunity. Guaranteeing fairness and justice.<\/p>\n<p>###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Washington, DC&#8230;As I stand here tonight, we are just one day shy of the 100th day of my administration. 100 days since I took the oath of office\u2014lifted my hand off our family Bible\u2014and inherited a nation in crisis.
