“ Broadband: 24% of Idahoans live in areas where, by one definition, there is no broadband infrastructure that provides minimally acceptable speeds. And 64% of Idahoans live in areas where there is only one such internet provider. Even where infrastructure is available, broadband may be too expensive to be within reach. 11.6% of Idaho households do not have an internet subscription. The American Jobs Plan will invest $100 billion to bring universal, reliable, high-speed, and affordable coverage to every family in America. ”

“ The American Jobs Plan will modernize our nation’s schools and early learning facilities and build new ones in neighborhoods across Idaho and the country. Manufacturing: Manufacturers account for more than 12% of total output in Idaho, employing 70,000 workers, or 9.3% of the state’s workforce. The American Job’s Plan will invest $300 billion to retool and revitalize American manufacturers. Home Energy: In Idaho, an average low-income family spends 6–8% of their income on home energy costs forcing tough choices between paying energy bills and buying food, medicine or other essentials. ”

“ The American Jobs Plan will upgrade low-income homes to make them more energy efficient through a historic investment in the Weatherization Assistance Program, a new Clean Energy and Sustainability Accelerator to finance building improvements, and expanded tax credits to support home energy upgrades. ”
