The experience of certain workers and local firms within each industry will differ as well. National Skills Coalition (NSC) and Business Leaders United (BLU) convened an Infrastructure  \nIndustry Recovery Panel of leading experts working in local communities. We wanted to learn what an effective, equitable, people-centered infrastructure plan should include. Panelists represent business, labor, education and training organizations, and others working in construction, utilities, transportation, and clean energy fields.  \nThe need to invest in our nation’s crumbling infrastructure goes back decades. But today, with more than 10 million people unemployed, there is unprecedented momentum to act. Women, immigrants, and people of color are disproportionately represented in these numbers as are young adults.1 President Joe Biden and Congress are counting on infrastructure investments to spur job creation and economic recovery.  \nbe people-centered; built for the people, by the people.  \nInfrastructure should be people-centered; built for the people, by the people. Infrastructure  \npolicy must be people-centered as well. People-centered means investing in training and supports for workers displaced from hard hit industries. It means ensuring workers can train to repair roads and bridges, build schools, expand broadband, shore up our power grid and safe drinking water, restore our ports and airports, and expand public and energy efficient transportation.  \nOn March 31, President Biden put forward the American Jobs Plan, which proposed billions of dollars in infrastructure investments and an explicit focus on racial equity. The President included a proposed $100 billion investment in workforce development.  \nEconomists Mark Zandi and Bernard Yaros of Moody’s predict that the American Jobs Plan could recoup jobs lost during the recession and add an additional 13.5 million jobs by 2024.2 They predict that most of the jobs created will require skills training, but not a college education. For this reason, they argue,“the funds in the [American Jobs Plan] for training will be important.”3  \nTHE AMERICAN JOBS PLAN  \nINFRASTRUCTURE  \nINVESTMENTS $1.271 TRILLION  \nMANUFACTURING AND R&D $480 BILLION  \nCARE ECONOMY $400 BILLION  \nWORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT $100 BILLION  \n1 According to the Century Foundation, by one month into the pandemic, one in four people between the ages of 20 and 24 were unemployed.

Themes emerged about the pandemic’s impact on the industry, as well as essential components of a people-centered, equitable infrastructure plan.  \nPrior to the pandemic, construction faced challenges hiring workers with the necessary training. A tight labor market, limited access to training, and racial and gender discrimination contributed to these challenges. Transportation sectors faced labor constraints in repair and maintenance, while major urban systems faced aging rail and bus stock. Like transportation, utilities faced the challenges of an aging, retiring workforce. An emerging alternative energy sector was still relatively small but growing.
