When working families earn more, America’s economy works better for everyone. Honest, hard work should be rewarded with jobs that pay enough. Too many jobs don’t pay enough to allow Americans to build a good life or save for a secure retirement. It is important to invest in innovation industries, like clean energy, and rebuild our crumbling roads, bridges and ports to help our economy grow.
