Advocates for universal broadband access and internet affordability are lauding Pres. Biden’s American Jobs Plan.
They praise the plan for recognizing the important of internet access, pointing out that broadband has become as necessary as electricity. The push for more access to affordable internet comes as families across the United States are having to adjust to remote work and learning due to COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.
On Mar. 31, the Biden Administration announced the American Jobs Plan, a $2 trillion jobs, infrastructure and green energy proposal meant to reshape the U.S. economy. In his announcement, Biden said the plan would create “the most resilient, innovative economy in the world,” through multiple projects intended to upgrade the nation’s infrastructure and create millions of jobs.

SACRAMENTO, Calif., Jan. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Even though California enjoyed a historic boom during the past decade, the addition of 2019 data into the California Dream Index announced today by California Forward confirms that prosperity was not experienced evenly by all Californians. The overall California Dream Index rose or stayed flat in all of California s regions from 2010 to 2019 with the exception of the Redwood Coast which slightly declined. The Sierra Nevada Counties near Lake Tahoe saw the greatest gains during those years. The data shows the hard reality that equity stagnated while wealth grew massively, even before the COVID-19 inequality bomb hit, said Micah Weinberg, CEO of CA FWD. The California Dream Index is a necessary tool as we work to reimagine an economy that is more equitable, just and sustainable for more Californians.
