The Spring Economic Update delivers a historic investment in the skilled trades — supporting the workers who build our homes, our infrastructure, and our economy.
Over the past few weeks, I’ve been speaking with skilled trades union members and representatives to hear directly what these investments mean for workers, families, and communities across the country.
Here’s what they had to say.
