I have spoken with some of the largest companies in our country. but also to small- and mediumsized businesses. second-. third-. and fourthgeneration family firms. startups. advanced manufacturing companies. retail. and service firms. Throughout these visits. I have heard several recurring themes. including concerns about our growing skills gap. our aging infrastructure. the need to reform our broken immigration system. and the need to modernize our Tax Code to successfully compete in a global economy. These conversations have subsequently led to concrete actions. such as introducing the AMERICA Works Act and the LEARN Act. that will help better match worker training programs to specific employer needs. If we are to successfully lead a resurgence of the U.S. economy. we need more collaboration between our business owners. workers. and elected officials.
