“ Home Energy: In Massachusetts, 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. ”

“ Even where infrastructure is available, broadband may be too expensive to be within reach. 11.1% of Massachusetts 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. ”

“ In Massachusetts, there is an estimated $1.39 billion gap in what schools need to do maintenance and make improvements and 53% 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 Massachusetts and the country. Maunfacturing: Manufacturers account for more than 9.4% of total output in Massachusetts, employing 243,000 workers, or 6.6% of the state’s workforce. The American Job’s Plan will invest $300 billion to retool and revitalize American manufacturers. ”
