With input from Delawareans at three roundtable discussions the Senator hosted in August, and from hundreds of meetings and conversations with business leaders and out-of-work Delawareans this year, today Senator Coons released his six-point jobs plan, dubbed, “A Blueprint for American Jobs.”
“As today’s disappointing jobs report re-confirms,Congress needs to pursue a new jobs agenda,” Senator Coons said, “one that will not only lead to the growth of skilled and sustainable American jobs for decades ahead but that will also put Americans back to work now. Instability in the job market is an urgent threat that we need to address immediately.”
The strategy details 38 bills that Congress could pass and ideas that Congress should explore to help propel America’s economic recovery. They are spread across six key actions:
- Invest in critical infrastructure projects
- Reform our tax code and stabilizing our nation’s debt
- Offer greater support for America’s small businesses
- Develop and protecting the next generation of American technology and ingenuity
- Strengthen America’s global trade posture
- Invest in an educated workforce
