PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP’S UNWAVERING COMMITMENT TO AMERICAN WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES

 “Strong and loving families build up our neighborhoods, sustain our
communities, invigorate our cities, pass down our values, and make a
brighter future for every citizen.” – President Donald J. Trump

PROMOTING
OPPORTUNITY FOR WORKERS AND THEIR FAMILIES: American workers and
families are at the forefront of the Trump Administration’s pro-growth
economic agenda.

• President
  Trump is working to provide American workers with the tools and
  opportunities to win in today’s economy and the economy of the future.
• President Trump is implementing policies that will help working families across the country prosper.
• The success of American workers and their families is essential to our shared national prosperity.

STRENGTHENING AMERICA’S WORKERS:
President Trump is dedicated to equipping American workers with the
education and training they need to excel in in-demand and
family-sustaining careers.

• President
  Trump is calling on Congress to support his plan to provide vocational
  training at every single high school in America.
• The
  President is encouraging private-sector investments with his Pledge to
  America’s Workers, prompting more than 400 companies to pledge jobs and
  educational opportunities for nearly 15 million American workers.
  
  • This
    includes training in cutting-edge areas like artificial intelligence,
    quantum computing, cybersecurity, and secure 5G so workers are able to
    thrive in the jobs of tomorrow.  
  
  
• The
  President released common sense occupational licensing reform
  principles calling on State and local leaders to improve the economic
  mobility of American workers.
• Thanks to the President’s strong commitment, Americans are coming off the sidelines and thriving in today’s booming economy.
  
  • In
    the fourth quarter of 2019, a record 74.2 percent of workers entering
    employment came from outside of the labor force, rather than from
    unemployment.
  
  

SUPPORTING WORKING FAMILIES: President Trump is advocating for policies that will benefit American working families.

• The
  President is urging Congress to pass legislation that will expand paid
  parental leave to every working American mother and father.
• President
  Trump’s call to action follows his signing of legislation late last
  year that enacted 12 weeks of paid parental leave for Federal employees.

  President created the first paid family leave tax credit for employers
  who offer paid leave to their employees making $72,000 or less, helping
  those least likely to receive the benefit.

  President signed the largest-ever increase in Child Care Development
  Block Grants – expanding access to quality, affordable child care for
  more than 800,000 low-income families.
• President Trump’s historic tax cuts expanded the Child Tax Credit, providing a boost to families across the country.
• 
  40
  million American families are benefiting from the expanded Child Tax
  Credit, with each family seeing an average of $2,200 more in their
  pockets as a result.
