Expanding Opportunities

America is where entrepreneurs come to start the greatest startups, where the most cutting-edge ideas are born and are launched. Right now, America has more job openings than at any point since 2001. Over half a million of those jobs are technology jobs. So today, I want to focus on something very specific, and that is how can we work together to build a pipeline of tech workers for this new economy. The truth is, two-thirds of these jobs are in non-high-tech industries like healthcare or manufacturing or banking, which means they're in every corner of the country. See, there's no industry that hasn't been touched by this technology revolution. And what's more, a lot of these jobs don't require a four-year degree in computer science. Folks can get the skills they need for these jobs in newer, streamlined, faster training programs. And Americans don't believe in equality of outcomes. We understand that you've got to work hard in this country. You don't just sit around waiting for something to happen. You've got to go get it. But we do believe in equal opportunity. We do believe in expanding opportunity to everybody who's willing to work hard. We do believe that in this country, no matter what you look like or where you come from, how you started out, if you're willing to put in some blood and sweat and tears, you should be able to make it and get a decent job and get a decent wage to build an economy where everybody shares in America's prosperity and everybody's contributing to America's prosperity. Thank you very much, everybody.
