“ In Arkansas, there is an estimated $350 million gap in what schools need to do maintenance and make improvements and 35% of residents live in a childcare desert. The American Jobs Plan will modernize our nation’s schools and early learning facilities and build new ones in neighborhoods across Arkansas and the country. Manufacturing: Manufacturers account for more than 15% of total output in Arkansas, employing 164,000 workers, or 12.8% of the state’s workforce. ”

“ Arkansans who take public transportation spend an extra 31.7% of their time commuting and non-White households are 3.8 times more likely to commute via public transportation. 27% of trains and other transit vehicles in the state are past useful life. The American Jobs Plan will modernize public transit with an $85 billion investment. ”

“ Across the country, hundreds of thousands of older adults and people with disabilities are in need of home and community-based services. The President’s plan will invest $400 billion to help more people access care and improve the quality of caregiving jobs. ”

“ In part due to a lack of available and affordable housing, 168,000 renters in Arkansas are rent burdened, meaning they spend more than 30% of their income on rent. The President proposes investing over $200 billion to increase housing supply and address the affordable housing crisis. ”
